The row cache rebuilt a string for every line of the file after each edit
and had one production caller left (filetype detection in the ImGui
frontend, which needs only the first line). Removed with it: rows_,
nrows_, the dirty flag set on every edit, ensure_rows_cache and a mutex
guarding only that cache. Tests read lines with GetLineString, Nrows or,
where they compare every line, a test-only LinesForTests().

Add benchmarks for core operations, migration edge case tests, improved
buffer I/O tests, and developer guide
- Introduced `test_benchmarks.cc` for performance benchmarking of key
operations in `PieceTable` and `Buffer`, including syntax highlighting
and iteration patterns.
- Added `test_migration_coverage.cc` to provide comprehensive tests for
migration of `Buffer::Rows()` to `PieceTable` APIs, with edge cases,
boundary handling, and consistency checks.
- Enhanced `test_buffer_io.cc` with additional cases for save/load
workflows, file handling, and better integration with the core API.
- Documented architectural details and core concepts in a new
`DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md`. Highlighted design principles, code
organization, and contribution workflows.
