Carter Anderson 1553ee98ff Switch ChildOf back to tuple struct (#18672)
# Objective

In #17905 we swapped to a named field on `ChildOf` to help resolve
variable naming ambiguity of child vs parent (ex: `child_of.parent`
clearly reads as "I am accessing the parent of the child_of
relationship", whereas `child_of.0` is less clear).

Unfortunately this has the side effect of making initialization less
ideal. `ChildOf { parent }` reads just as well as `ChildOf(parent)`, but
`ChildOf { parent: root }` doesn't read nearly as well as
`ChildOf(root)`.

## Solution

Move back to `ChildOf(pub Entity)` but add a `child_of.parent()`
function and use it for all accesses. The downside here is that users
are no longer "forced" to access the parent field with `parent`
nomenclature, but I think this strikes the right balance.

Take a look at the diff. I think the results provide strong evidence for
this change. Initialization has the benefit of reading much better _and_
of taking up significantly less space, as many lines go from 3 to 1, and
we're cutting out a bunch of syntax in some cases.

Sadly I do think this should land in 0.16 as the cost of doing this
_after_ the relationships migration is high.

Bevy Benchmarks

This is a crate with a collection of benchmarks for Bevy.

Running benchmarks

Benchmarks can be run through Cargo:

# 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. 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.
