test(bench): record TList<TObject> scan speedup from ARC elision

Browse source 
After commit ffe09b3 (nil-slot _ClassRelease elision), TList<TObject>
hand-rolled scan x 1000 went 131 ms -> 90 ms (~30% improvement) on
the same hardware as the previous entry.  Smaller wins on sequential
and random Get for the same workload.

Notes:
* Big win on the TList<TObject> hand-rolled scan (~30% faster:
131 ms -> 90 ms). Source: nil-slot _ClassRelease elision in the
codegen — TList<T>.Get's `Result := Src^` no longer emits a
release-on-nil pair, saving one cross-TU call per Get.
* Smaller incidental wins on Sequential Get (6->5 ms) and Random
Get (13->12 ms) for TList<TObject> from the same change.
* TList<String> hand-rolled scan unchanged at 283 ms; the elision
applies to class-typed assignments only. Strings get the same
treatment if we extend the optimisation to strings in a follow-up.
* TStringList.IndexOf dropped 681->600 ms. Cause uncertain; may
just be run-to-run noise.
