bench: add registry benchmarks for named actors, groups, monitors, ask (Cycle 16)

New benchmark group measuring named spawn/lookup (~2.4µs), group publish
(linear O(N)), monitor setup, and ask roundtrip (~4.5µs). All registry
operations efficient with minimal overhead vs baseline operations.

## Current Stage: Phase 1 — Research + First Improvement Cycle
### Status: Cycle 15 COMPLETE
### Status: Cycle 16 COMPLETE
## Plan Overview
1. **Phase 0**: Codebase audit — understand current swactor architecture, existing tests, benchmarks ✅
@ -124,6 +124,19 @@
- `stop_nonexistent_actor_returns_error` — stop on bad address returns Err
- **Result**: 82 tests pass, all workspace compiles
### Cycle 16: Benchmark New Features
- **Scope**: Added benchmark group for features from Cycles 12-15 (named actors, groups, monitors, ask)
- **New benchmarks** (5 total in `registry` group):
- `named_spawn_lookup` — spawn_named + where_is roundtrip: **~2.4µs** (vs bare spawn 1.9µs → +0.5µs overhead for name registration)
- `where_is_100_names` — lookup in 100-name registry: **~9.0µs** (includes setup overhead)
- `group_publish/{10,50,100}` — broadcast to N members: 4.8µs/15.5µs/60µs (linear with O(N) clones)
- `monitor_setup` — monitor + stop + cleanup: **~13.4µs**
- `ask_roundtrip` — ask + recv_ticking: **~4.5µs** (vs manual roundtrip 3.0µs → +1.5µs for inbox creation)
- **Analysis**: All registry operations are efficient. Named lookup adds <1µs over bare spawn.
Ask adds ~50% overhead vs manual inbox pattern (acceptable for convenience). Group publish
scales linearly — expected for O(N) message cloning. No optimization needed.
- **Result**: All benchmarks run cleanly, 127 tests pass, zero warnings
### Cycle 15: Ask Pattern (Request-Response)
- **Research**: Studied ask/call/request-response patterns across Erlang gen_server:call (From + reply),
Akka ask (temporary actor + Future), Ractor call (RpcReplyPort), Kameo ask (async + Reply trait),
