tooling: add --no-opt CLI flag and criterion compile benchmarks
Adds two items from the "Code quality / tooling" section of
docs/future-work.md. Both make it easier to chase regressions
without touching codegen.

- `nescript build --no-opt` skips the IR optimizer pass so
  optimizer-introduced miscompiles can be bisected against the
  unoptimized output. Threaded through CompileOptions and gated
  at the single optimizer call site in src/main.rs. Covered by a
  new integration test that compiles the same program twice
  (opt on / opt off) and asserts both outputs are valid iNES
  ROMs with matching headers and reset vectors.

- A criterion-based `benches/compile.rs` harness that times the
  full parse -> analyze -> lower -> optimize -> codegen -> link
  pipeline on every examples/*.ne file. Sources are pre-read
  into memory so file I/O stays off the hot loop, and each
  example gets its own Criterion group for easy regression
  spotting.

Committed ROM bytes under examples/*.nes are unchanged; the
emulator goldens under tests/emulator/goldens/ are untouched.

//! End-to-end compilation benchmarks.
//!
//! Each `examples/*.ne` file becomes its own Criterion group that
//! times the full `parse → analyze → lower → optimize → codegen →
//! peephole → link` pipeline the `nescript build` CLI runs. The goal
//! is to catch compile-time regressions — today every example
//! compiles in well under 100 ms, so a change that doubles that
//! shows up as a large red bar in `cargo bench`'s output.
//!
//! The harness pre-reads every source file into memory before any
//! measurement starts. Criterion's sample iterations then run only
//! the in-memory compile path, so disk I/O never shows up on the
//! hot loop.
