test: compare core hot paths with the pull request base

[Kikobeats]

Summary

• The agent snapshot gate did not run for screenshot, goto, or the core package. A change there could get slower without failing CI.
• Screenshot times the white-pixel check and the full-page overflow scan. Goto times the dismiss scan. The core suite times all three, since screenshot, PDF, and HTML pay those paths.
• Same rule as the agent snapshot: interleaved on one page, fail when a path is more than 10% slower and more than 1 ms slower than the base commit.

Test plan

• ava test/perf.js in screenshot, goto, and browserless, against current master (sources match, so the ratios sit near 1)
• CI: Test browserless, Test @browserless/screenshot, Test @browserless/goto

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Expanded performance regression checks for browser capture, screenshot processing, and navigation overlay dismissal.
  • Pull requests affecting these areas can now be compared with their base versions, helping detect performance slowdowns before changes are merged.
  • Checks cover image detection, overflow-scroller detection, and overlay dismissal, and report when changes exceed the performance threshold.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds shared performance-test utilities and serial benchmarks for selected browserless, goto, and screenshot implementations. The workflow fetches the base revision for pull requests that test those packages.

Changes

Performance Benchmark Tests

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Enable base-source access .github/workflows/pull_request.yml, packages/test/package.json	The workflow fetch condition includes screenshot, goto, and browserless pull requests. The test package exports the performance utilities.
Add shared performance utilities packages/test/src/perf.js	The utilities load base source, extract source expressions, measure paired timings, generate dense HTML, load modules in a VM, and apply the timing gate.
Add package performance benchmarks packages/browserless/test/perf.js, packages/goto/test/perf.js, packages/screenshot/test/perf.js	Serial tests compare selected implementations with their base versions when base source is available. The tests pass collected results to the gate.

Review comments at @packages/test/src/perf.js:
- Around line 67-68: Update timeInPage so the base and head dismiss
implementations run in separate page worlds, each initialized with equivalent
DOM state. Ensure each timed and warm-up call invokes its own implementation
rather than reusing the base rescan closure stored on
window.__browserlessDismiss.
- Line 68: Update timeInPage to accept and forward function arguments to the
timed function, then pass the production overflow threshold to
findTallestOverflowScroller from both the screenshot and core test callers.
Preserve the existing timing behavior while ensuring the threshold reaches the
overflow check.
