Brandon Lucas 42fef80a47 feat: add comprehensive benchmark suite with multi-language comparison
Add benchmarks comparing Lux against 7 languages:
- Rust, C, Go (compiled)
- Node.js, Bun (JavaScript JIT)
- Python (interpreted)

Benchmarks:
- Fibonacci (fib 35): recursive function calls
- Prime counting (10k): loops and conditionals
- Sum loop (10M): tight numeric loops
- Ackermann (3,10): deep recursion
- Selection sort (1k): sorting algorithm
- List operations (10k): map/filter/fold with closures

Results show Lux:
- Matches C and Rust performance
- 2-5x faster than Go
- 7-15x faster than Node.js
- 10-285x faster than Python
