ci(frontend): track bundle size over time with benchmark-action

Superset's frontend bundle size is a recurring complaint, but until now
there's been no ongoing visibility into it -- only periodic manual cleanup
efforts. This adds a `bundle-size` job to superset-frontend.yml that builds
the real production bundle (npm run build), reduces its per-entrypoint
sizes to a few headline numbers, and tracks them over time via
benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark, posting a PR comment when a
change regresses past 110% of the last recorded baseline.

Reuses the already-built CI Docker image (same image sharded-jest-tests /
lint-frontend / etc. already download), so the only new cost is the
production webpack build itself -- and that's cheap after the first run:
webpack's persistent filesystem cache (already configured in
webpack.config.js) makes warm rebuilds ~20s locally vs several minutes
cold, confirmed by hand against this repo's real build.

webpack.config.js gains a BUNDLE_SIZE_STATS env-gated stats override
(mirrors the existing BUNDLE_ANALYZER pattern). The default `stats:
'minimal'` omits per-asset sizes entirely; `--stats=normal` includes them
but also serializes the full ~15k-module dependency graph, producing a
560+MB stats.json for this app -- large enough to exceed Node's max
string length on a plain fs.readFileSync. The env-gated override requests
just `{ assets: true, entrypoints: true }`, verified end-to-end against a
minimal synthetic webpack project (same webpack/webpack-cli versions) and
against real stats pulled from this repo's actual production build.

History storage deliberately avoids the gh-pages branch (benchmark-action's
usual default) since that branch is the live Helm chart index published by
superset-helm-release.yml, not free real estate. Instead uses
external-data-json-path with actions/cache: restored on every run (PR or
push) so PRs get a same-baseline comparison and regression comment, but
only saved back to the cache on push to master, so an unmerged PR's numbers
never become the shared baseline. No gh-pages branch is touched in any
code path, and no PAT/GitHub App is needed -- comment-on-alert only needs
the default per-job GITHUB_TOKEN.
