Zhengchao An 242424b0fc ci(perf): fit the baseline cache build to the post-LTO profile and self-heal nightly misses (#4841)
* ci(perf): fit the baseline cache build to the post-LTO profile and self-heal nightly misses

Every build-baseline-cache run on 2026-07-15 died on its 60min ceiling
('exceeded the maximum execution time of 1h0m0s'): #4806 put thin LTO +
codegen-units=1 on [profile.release], pushing a single release build past
60min on sm-standard-2, so the baseline cache never populated. The measured
binary must keep the production profile, so raise the job budget to 100min
instead of weakening the profile.

Also make the A/B job self-heal a same-commit cache miss: when the candidate
commit equals the baseline commit (nightly/dispatch on main) and the restore
misses, build the binary once, reuse it for both phases, and save it back to
the cache under rustfs-baseline-<sha> — previously that miss made the rig
build the identical commit twice, which no job budget fits post-#4806. The
PR-context miss (candidate != baseline, opt-in gate) keeps the double-build
fallback and now documents that it will overrun and alert.

Refs rustfs/backlog#1152 (perf-3 follow-up).

* ci(perf): latest-wins concurrency for the baseline cache build

Consumers only restore the binary for the current origin/main tip, so a
superseded push build's output is dead weight; cancel it instead of stacking
~65min jobs on the shared sm-standard-2 pool when main merges quickly. A
skipped intermediate SHA at most costs one same-commit self-heal in the A/B
job.

# Warp A/B budget gate for the hotpath series (rustfs/backlog#935 HP-14, item 4).
#
# Two entry points, honestly scoped:
# * schedule (nightly, on main): post-merge detection — catches a regression
# within 24h of landing, not before merge.
# * pull_request labeled `perf-ab`: opt-in pre-merge gate for a specific PR.
# The `perf-deliberate-tradeoff` label runs the gate with --allow-regression so
# a deliberate correctness cost (e.g. the #4221 fsync durability fix) is
# recorded but does not block (rustfs/backlog#935 correction 1).
