Add benchmarks and compile_fail tests back to workspace (#16858)
# Objective

- Our benchmarks and `compile_fail` tests lag behind the rest of the
engine because they are not in the Cargo workspace, so not checked by
CI.
- Fixes #16801, please see it for further context!

## Solution

- Add benchmarks and `compile_fail` tests to the Cargo workspace.
- Fix any leftover formatting issues and documentation.

## Testing

- I think CI should catch most things!

## Questions

<details>
<summary>Outdated issue I was having with function reflection being
optional</summary>

The `reflection_types` example is failing in Rust-Analyzer for me, but
not a normal check.

```rust
error[E0004]: non-exhaustive patterns: `ReflectRef::Function(_)` not covered
   --> examples/reflection/reflection_types.rs:81:11
    |
81  |     match value.reflect_ref() {
    |           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ pattern `ReflectRef::Function(_)` not covered
    |
note: `ReflectRef<'_>` defined here
   --> /Users/bdeep/dev/bevy/bevy/crates/bevy_reflect/src/kind.rs:178:1
    |
178 | pub enum ReflectRef<'a> {
    | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
188 |     Function(&'a dyn Function),
    |     -------- not covered
    = note: the matched value is of type `ReflectRef<'_>`
help: ensure that all possible cases are being handled by adding a match arm with a wildcard pattern or an explicit pattern as shown
    |
126 ~         ReflectRef::Opaque(_) => {},
127 +         ReflectRef::Function(_) => todo!()
    |
```

I think it is because the following line is feature-gated:


cc0f6a8db4/examples/reflection/reflection_types.rs (L117-L122)

My theory for why this is happening is because the benchmarks enabled
`bevy_reflect`'s `function` feature, which gets merged with the rest of
the features when RA checks the workspace, but the `#[cfg(...)]` gate in
the example isn't detecting it:


cc0f6a8db4/benches/Cargo.toml (L19)

Any thoughts on how to fix this? It's not blocking, since the example
still compiles as normal, but it's just RA and the command `cargo check
--workspace --all-targets` appears to fail.

# Bevy Benchmarks
This is a crate with a collection of benchmarks for Bevy.
## Running benchmarks
Benchmarks can be run through Cargo:
```sh
# Run all benchmarks. (This will take a while!)
cargo bench -p benches
# Just compile the benchmarks, do not run them.
cargo bench -p benches --no-run
# Run the benchmarks for a specific crate. (See `Cargo.toml` for a complete list of crates
# tracked.)
cargo bench -p benches --bench ecs
# Filter which benchmarks are run based on the name. This will only run benchmarks whose name
# contains "name_fragment".
cargo bench -p benches -- name_fragment
# List all available benchmarks.
cargo bench -p benches -- --list
# Save a baseline to be compared against later.
cargo bench -p benches --save-baseline before
# Compare the current benchmarks against a baseline to find performance gains and regressions.
cargo bench -p benches --baseline before
```
## Criterion
Bevy's benchmarks use [Criterion](https://crates.io/crates/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](https://bheisler.github.io/criterion.rs/book/criterion_rs.html).
