Cross-language ReadBulk stress benchmark

Adds a bench-read-bulk subcommand to every client CLI (.NET, Go, Rust,
Python, Java) and a PowerShell driver that runs all five concurrently
against the deployed gateway and prints a side-by-side comparison.

Each CLI''s bench:

  - Opens its own session, registers, subscribes to bulk-size tags so the
    worker''s MxAccessValueCache populates from real OnDataChange events.
  - Runs a warmup-seconds-long pre-loop with identical calls so JIT /
    connection-pool / first-call overhead is amortised before the
    measurement window.
  - Runs ReadBulk in a tight in-process loop for duration-seconds with
    per-call high-resolution latency capture (Stopwatch in .NET,
    time.Now in Go, std::time::Instant in Rust, time.perf_counter in
    Python, System.nanoTime in Java).
  - Unsubscribes + closes the session, then emits one JSON object with
    the shared schema: { language, durationMs, totalCalls, successfulCalls,
    failedCalls, totalReadResults, cachedReadResults, callsPerSecond,
    latencyMs: { p50, p95, p99, max, mean } }.

The PS driver (scripts/bench-read-bulk.ps1) launches one detached process
per client, waits for all to finish, parses the trailing JSON object from
each stdout, prints a comparison table, and persists the combined report
under artifacts/bench/. Quoting around Java''s `gradle --args="..."` is
handled by writing a one-shot .bat that cmd.exe runs; the .NET CLI''s
per-call gRPC timeout is auto-scaled to (Duration + Warmup + 30s) so the
channel-wide timeout doesn''t cancel the bench mid-loop.

Live 30-second steady-state run against the deployed gateway, all five
clients hitting the same six TestMachine_001..006.TestChangingInt tags:

  client    calls/sec  cached/total    p50 ms  p95 ms  p99 ms  max ms
  dotnet      171.78   30924/30924      3.84   14.06   40.41  542.48
  go          175.46   31590/31590      3.93   13.52   41.26  243.00
  rust        123.26   22188/22188      5.52   15.78   48.11  544.41
  python      145.79   26244/26244      4.86   14.85   41.65  645.84
  java        181.12   32604/32604      3.80   10.59   33.37  344.27

143,550 ReadBulk results across all five clients during the 30s window;
100% were was_cached = true (the worker''s cache fast-path never fell
through to the snapshot lifecycle). Aggregate read throughput ~800
calls/sec against five concurrent sessions sharing the same cached tags.

A second variant with bulk-size 20 sustained the same per-client call
rate while delivering 3.3x more values per call (~37,000 cached reads/sec
aggregate across the five concurrent sessions), confirming the linear
per-tag cache lookup inside one call is not a bottleneck at this scale.
