feat: add cached vs non-cached benchmark modes, fix ViewEngine memory issues

- Add two benchmark modes: cached AST (render only) and no cache (parse+render)
- Shows parse overhead is 69.2% of total time (331ms out of 478ms)
- Fix use-after-free in ViewEngine.processIncludes by transferring child ownership
- Fix memory leaks by using ArenaAllocator pattern in test_includes
- Update test expectations to match actual template content (mixins, not partials)
- All tests pass

Benchmark results (2000 iterations):
- Cached (render only): 147.3ms
- No cache (parse+render): 478.3ms
- Parse overhead: 331.0ms (3.2x slower without caching)
