SUZUKI Sosuke de8c754c6a perf(markdown): cache tag strings in React renderer (#26668)
## Summary

Cache frequently-used HTML tag strings (div, p, h1-h6, etc.) in
`GlobalObject` using `LazyProperty<JSGlobalObject, JSString>` instead of
creating new JSStrings on every React element creation in
`Bun.markdown.react()`.

## Changes

- Added `BunMarkdownTagStrings.h/.cpp` with 30 cached tag strings
- Modified `MarkdownObject.zig` to use cached strings via C API
- Integrated with `ZigGlobalObject` for proper GC visiting

## Benchmark Results

All benchmarks performed on Apple M4 Max with release builds.

### mitata Benchmark (Bun.markdown.react)

| Size | Main | Feature | Improvement |
|------|------|---------|-------------|
| small (121 chars) | 3.20 µs | 2.30 µs | **28% faster** |
| medium (1039 chars) | 15.09 µs | 14.02 µs | **7% faster** |
| large (20780 chars) | 288.48 µs | 267.14 µs | **7.4% faster** |

### Heap Profile

| Metric | Main | Feature | Improvement |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| Heap size | 500.7 KB | 469.7 KB | **6% reduction** |
| Object count | 12,000 | 10,315 | **14% reduction** |
| String count | 4,248 | 2,563 | **40% reduction** |
| String size | 97.1 KB | 65.8 KB | **32% reduction** |

### HTTP Request Benchmark (ab -n 10000 -c 20)

| Metric | Main | Feature | Improvement |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| Requests/sec | 7,710 | 8,174 | **6% faster** |
| Time/request | 2.59 ms | 2.45 ms | **5% faster** |
| p99 latency | 6 ms | 3 ms | **50% improvement** |

## Technical Details

The optimization uses JSC's `LazyProperty` pattern (similar to
`BunCommonStrings` and `BunHttp2CommonStrings`) to lazily initialize and
cache tag strings on first use. This avoids repeated
`bun.String.createUTF8ForJS` calls which allocate new JSStrings for the
same tag names on every markdown element.
