ddidderr e423dd5586 perf(terminal): make screen clone match Zig, batch OSC payload copies
screen-clone was 2.6x slower than Zig. The main cost was in
PageList::clone_range: it created a throwaway page, recycled it into the
pool and Page::reinit then memset the entire page again, faulting in
every cell. Untouched pages now go to a clean_pool that create_node
reuses without re-zeroing. Page::init allocates cells with
bytemuck::allocation::try_zeroed_vec (Cell derives Zeroable), getting
lazily-zeroed memory from the allocator without unsafe code, and
clone_partial_row_from bulk-copies plain-cell runs in rows with managed
memory. screen-clone clone: 78 ms -> ~28 ms (Zig ~27.8 ms).

osc::Parser::next_slice appends payload bytes in bulk while behaving
exactly like per-byte next() (2048 limit, overflow), verified by a
property test; the osc-parser bench uses it (54.5 -> ~32 ms, Zig ~28).

Still slower: screen-clone render (~2.4x), dominated by per-row style
vectors in RenderState::update.

Test Plan:
- cargo test --workspace (no failures)
- ghostty-bench +screen-clone / +osc-parser with --profile production
