feat: add trend visualization with sparklines to perf report (#9939)

## Summary

Add historical trend visualization (ASCII sparklines + directional
arrows) to the performance PR report, showing how each metric has moved
over recent commits on main.

## Changes

- **What**: New `sparkline()`, `trendDirection()`, `trendArrow()`
functions in `perf-stats.ts`. New collapsible "Trend" section in the
perf report showing per-metric sparklines, direction indicators, and
latest values. CI workflow updated to download historical data from the
`perf-data` orphan branch and switched to `setup-frontend` action with
`pnpm exec tsx`.

## Review Focus

- The trend section only renders when ≥3 historical data points exist
(gracefully absent otherwise)
- `trendDirection()` uses a split-half mean comparison with ±10%
threshold — review whether this sensitivity is appropriate
- The `git archive` step in `pr-perf-report.yaml` is idempotent and
fails silently if no perf-history data exists yet on the perf-data
branch
