core: add tools/bench (throughput/load/alloc-check) and record the M7 baseline

Three subcommands in one binary, driving vdm::Engine directly (docs/04 §8):

- throughput: a single download against a fast local origin
  (support/local_server.hpp, busybox httpd), reporting Mbps/CPU%/RSS. Gates
  on --require-mbps/--max-cpu-pct only when passed, so the ctest smoke
  registration stays a correctness check, not a hardware-dependent
  perf gate -- the real 1-Gbit-link sign-off is a manual/CI job (see the
  file's header comment).
- load: N concurrent tasks against tools/testserver's `throttled` mode
  (support/testserver_client.hpp), reporting peak RSS via getrusage(). Paced
  externally rather than through the engine's own rate::RateLimiter or
  busybox: the limiter's pause/resume path allocates on every throttle event
  (would contaminate alloc-check's measurement) and under heavy segment
  contention was found to starve individual tasks indefinitely (see
  docs/adr/0016, added here); busybox couldn't sustain the DoD's ~160
  concurrent connections (20 tasks * default_segments=8) reliably. The
  ctest registration runs at reduced concurrency under sanitizer presets --
  see the CMakeLists.txt comment and the ADR's postscript.
- alloc-check: operator new/delete overridden process-wide, sampling the
  allocation count across a steady mid-transfer window against a paced
  tools/testserver origin. Caught a real bug in the same change (see the
  http_client.cpp commit) and, by dropping its Engine mid-download to end
  cleanly, also surfaced the quiesce() use-after-free (see that commit).

core/docs/m7-baseline.md records actual measured numbers against the M1/M7
DoD lines, including where they don't clear yet (RSS ~70 MB vs a 60 MB
target; throughput/CPU only measured on loopback, no 1 Gbit link available
here) rather than rounding them away.

docs/adr/0016 documents a rate::RateLimiter fairness gap found building the
load subcommand: a single shared TokenBucket under heavy segment contention
has no fairness ordering across its peek/commit race and can starve a
waiter well past what its configured rate implies. Filed as a follow-up
(it's a core/src/rate design question, not a tools/bench one) rather than
fixed here, along with a related TSan-only load-test straggler that could
not be root-caused in this environment.
