David M. Lary 5d9c9b85d5 Stepping disabled performance fix (#11959)
# Objective

* Fixes #11932 (performance impact when stepping is disabled)

## Solution

The `Option<FixedBitSet>` argument added to `ScheduleExecutor::run()` in
#8453 caused a measurable performance impact even when stepping is
disabled. This can be seen by the benchmark of running `Schedule:run()`
on an empty schedule in a tight loop
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11932#issuecomment-1950970236).

I was able to get the same performance results as on 0.12.1 by changing
the argument
`ScheduleExecutor::run()` from `Option<FixedBitSet>` to
`Option<&FixedBitSet>`. The down-side of this change is that
`Schedule::run()` now takes about 6% longer (3.7319 ms vs 3.9855ns) when
stepping is enabled

---

## Changelog
* Change `ScheduleExecutor::run()` `_skipped_systems` from
`Option<FixedBitSet>` to `Option<&FixedBitSet>`
* Added a few benchmarks to measure `Schedule::run()` performance with
various executors

Bevy Benchmarks

This is a crate with a collection of benchmarks for Bevy, separate from the rest of the Bevy crates.

Running the benchmarks

  1. Setup everything you need for Bevy with the setup guide.

  2. Move into the benches directory (where this README is located).

    bevy $ cd benches
    
  3. Run the benchmarks with cargo (This will take a while)

    bevy/benches $ cargo bench
    

    If you'd like to only compile the benchmarks (without running them), you can do that like this:

    bevy/benches $ cargo bench --no-run
    

Criterion

Bevy's benchmarks use Criterion. If you want to learn more about using Criterion for comparing performance against a baseline or generating detailed reports, you can read the Criterion.rs documentation.
