many_components stress test improvements (#16913)
# Objective

- I was getting familiar with the many_components example to test some
recent pr's for executor changes and saw some things to improve.

## Solution

- Use `insert_by_ids` instead of `insert_by_id`. This reduces the number
of archetype moves and improves startup times substantially.
- Add a tracing span to `base_system`. I'm not sure why, but tracing
spans weren't showing for this system. I think it's something to do with
how pipe system works, but need to investigate more. The approach in
this pr is a little better than the default span too, since it allows
adding the number of entities queried to the span which is not possible
with the default system span.
- println the number of archetype component id's that are created. This
is useful since part of the purpose of this stress test is to test how
well the use of FixedBitSet scales in the executor.

## Testing

- Ran the example with `cargo run --example many_components -F
trace_tracy 1000000` and connected with tracy
- Timed the time it took to spawn 1 million entities on main (240 s) vs
this pr (15 s)

## Future Work

- Currently systems are created with a random set of components and
entities are created with a random set of components without any
correlation between the randomness. This means that some systems won't
match any entities and some entities could not match any systems. It
might be better to spawn the entities from the pool of components that
match the queries that the systems are using.

Improved Entity Mapping and Cloning (#17687)
Fixes #17535

Bevy's approach to handling "entity mapping" during spawning and cloning
needs some work. The addition of
[Relations](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17398) both
[introduced a new "duplicate entities" bug when spawning scenes in the
scene system](#17535) and made the weaknesses of the current mapping
system exceedingly clear:

1. Entity mapping requires _a ton_ of boilerplate (implement or derive
VisitEntities and VisitEntitesMut, then register / reflect MapEntities).
Knowing the incantation is challenging and if you forget to do it in
part or in whole, spawning subtly breaks.
2. Entity mapping a spawned component in scenes incurs unnecessary
overhead: look up ReflectMapEntities, create a _brand new temporary
instance_ of the component using FromReflect, map the entities in that
instance, and then apply that on top of the actual component using
reflection. We can do much better.

Additionally, while our new [Entity cloning
system](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16132) is already pretty
great, it has some areas we can make better:

* It doesn't expose semantic info about the clone (ex: ignore or "clone
empty"), meaning we can't key off of that in places where it would be
useful, such as scene spawning. Rather than duplicating this info across
contexts, I think it makes more sense to add that info to the clone
system, especially given that we'd like to use cloning code in some of
our spawning scenarios.
* EntityCloner is currently built in a way that prioritizes a single
entity clone
* EntityCloner's recursive cloning is built to be done "inside out" in a
parallel context (queue commands that each have a clone of
EntityCloner). By making EntityCloner the orchestrator of the clone we
can remove internal arcs, improve the clarity of the code, make
EntityCloner mutable again, and simplify the builder code.
* EntityCloner does not currently take into account entity mapping. This
is necessary to do true "bullet proof" cloning, would allow us to unify
the per-component scene spawning and cloning UX, and ultimately would
allow us to use EntityCloner in place of raw reflection for scenes like
`Scene(World)` (which would give us a nice performance boost: fewer
archetype moves, less reflection overhead).

## Solution

### Improved Entity Mapping

First, components now have first-class "entity visiting and mapping"
behavior:

```rust
#[derive(Component, Reflect)]
#[reflect(Component)]
struct Inventory {
    size: usize,
    #[entities]
    items: Vec<Entity>,
}
```

Any field with the `#[entities]` annotation will be viewable and
mappable when cloning and spawning scenes.

Compare that to what was required before!

```rust
#[derive(Component, Reflect, VisitEntities, VisitEntitiesMut)]
#[reflect(Component, MapEntities)]
struct Inventory {
    #[visit_entities(ignore)]
    size: usize,
    items: Vec<Entity>,
}
```

Additionally, for relationships `#[entities]` is implied, meaning this
"just works" in scenes and cloning:

```rust
#[derive(Component, Reflect)]
#[relationship(relationship_target = Children)]
#[reflect(Component)]
struct ChildOf(pub Entity);
```

Note that Component _does not_ implement `VisitEntities` directly.
Instead, it has `Component::visit_entities` and
`Component::visit_entities_mut` methods. This is for a few reasons:

1. We cannot implement `VisitEntities for C: Component` because that
would conflict with our impl of VisitEntities for anything that
implements `IntoIterator<Item=Entity>`. Preserving that impl is more
important from a UX perspective.
2. We should not implement `Component: VisitEntities` VisitEntities in
the Component derive, as that would increase the burden of manual
Component trait implementors.
3. Making VisitEntitiesMut directly callable for components would make
it easy to invalidate invariants defined by a component author. By
putting it in the `Component` impl, we can make it harder to call
naturally / unavailable to autocomplete using `fn
visit_entities_mut(this: &mut Self, ...)`.

`ReflectComponent::apply_or_insert` is now
`ReflectComponent::apply_or_insert_mapped`. By moving mapping inside
this impl, we remove the need to go through the reflection system to do
entity mapping, meaning we no longer need to create a clone of the
target component, map the entities in that component, and patch those
values on top. This will make spawning mapped entities _much_ faster
(The default `Component::visit_entities_mut` impl is an inlined empty
function, so it will incur no overhead for unmapped entities).

### The Bug Fix

To solve #17535, spawning code now skips entities with the new
`ComponentCloneBehavior::Ignore` and
`ComponentCloneBehavior::RelationshipTarget` variants (note
RelationshipTarget is a temporary "workaround" variant that allows
scenes to skip these components. This is a temporary workaround that can
be removed as these cases should _really_ be using EntityCloner logic,
which should be done in a followup PR. When that is done,
`ComponentCloneBehavior::RelationshipTarget` can be merged into the
normal `ComponentCloneBehavior::Custom`).

### Improved Cloning

* `Option<ComponentCloneHandler>` has been replaced by
`ComponentCloneBehavior`, which encodes additional intent and context
(ex: `Default`, `Ignore`, `Custom`, `RelationshipTarget` (this last one
is temporary)).
* Global per-world entity cloning configuration has been removed. This
felt overly complicated, increased our API surface, and felt too
generic. Each clone context can have different requirements (ex: what a
user wants in a specific system, what a scene spawner wants, etc). I'd
prefer to see how far context-specific EntityCloners get us first.
* EntityCloner's internals have been reworked to remove Arcs and make it
mutable.
* EntityCloner is now directly stored on EntityClonerBuilder,
simplifying the code somewhat
* EntityCloner's "bundle scratch" pattern has been moved into the new
BundleScratch type, improving its usability and making it usable in
other contexts (such as future cross-world cloning code). Currently this
is still private, but with some higher level safe APIs it could be used
externally for making dynamic bundles
* EntityCloner's recursive cloning behavior has been "externalized". It
is now responsible for orchestrating recursive clones, meaning it no
longer needs to be sharable/clone-able across threads / read-only.
* EntityCloner now does entity mapping during clones, like scenes do.
This gives behavior parity and also makes it more generically useful.
* `RelatonshipTarget::RECURSIVE_SPAWN` is now
`RelationshipTarget::LINKED_SPAWN`, and this field is used when cloning
relationship targets to determine if cloning should happen recursively.
The new `LINKED_SPAWN` term was picked to make it more generically
applicable across spawning and cloning scenarios.

## Next Steps

* I think we should adapt EntityCloner to support cross world cloning. I
think this PR helps set the stage for that by making the internals
slightly more generalized. We could have a CrossWorldEntityCloner that
reuses a lot of this infrastructure.
* Once we support cross world cloning, we should use EntityCloner to
spawn `Scene(World)` scenes. This would yield significant performance
benefits (no archetype moves, less reflection overhead).

Allow users to customize history length in FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin (#17259)
# Objective

I have an application where I'd like to measure average frame rate over
the entire life of the application, and it would be handy if I could
just configure this on the existing `FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin`.

Probably fixes #10948?

## Solution

Add `max_history_length` to `FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin`, and because
`smoothing_factor` seems to be based on history length, add that too.

## Discussion

I'm not totally sure that `DEFAULT_MAX_HISTORY_LENGTH` is a great
default for `FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin` (or any diagnostic?). That's
1/3 of a second at typical game frame rates. Moreover, the default print
interval for `LogDiagnosticsPlugin` is 1 second. So when the two are
combined, you are printing the average over the last third of the
duration between now and the previous print, which seems a bit wonky.
(related: #11429)

I'm pretty sure this default value discussed and the current value
wasn't totally arbitrary though.

Maybe it would be nice for `Diagnostic` to have a
`with_max_history_length_and_also_calculate_a_good_default_smoothing_factor`
method? And then make an explicit smoothing factor in
`FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin` optional?

Or add a `new(max_history_length: usize)` method to
`FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin` that sets a reasonable default
`smoothing_factor`? edit: This one seems like a no-brainer, doing it.

## Alternatives

It's really easy to roll your own `FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin`, but that
might not be super interoperable with, for example, third party FPS
overlays. Still, might be the right call.

## Testing

`cargo run --example many_sprites` (modified to use a custom
`max_history_length`)

## Migration Guide

`FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin` now contains two fields. Use
`FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin::default()` to match Bevy's previous
behavior or, for example, `FrameTimeDiagnosticsPlugin::new(60)` to
configure it.

Added stress test for large ecs worlds (#16591)
# Objective

We currently have no benchmarks for large worlds with many entities,
components and systems.
Having a benchmark for a world with many components is especially useful
for the performance improvements needed for relations. This is also a
response to this [comment from
cart](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/14385#issuecomment-2311292546).

> I'd like both a small bevy_ecs-scoped executor benchmark that
generates thousands of components used by hundreds of systems.

## Solution

I use dynamic components and components to construct a benchmark with
2000 components, 4000 systems, and 10000 entities.

## Some notes

- ~I use a lot of random entities, which creates unpredictable
performance, I should use a seeded PRNG.~
- Not entirely sure if everything is ran concurrently currently. And
there are many conflicts, meaning there's probably a lot of
first-come-first-serve going on. Not entirely sure if these benchmarks
are very reproducible.
- Maybe add some more safety comments
- Also component_reads_and_writes() is about to be deprecated #16339,
but there's no other way to currently do what I'm trying to do.
