Claude b331db6638 Add virtual-threads-benchmark-webflux: the WebFlux leg of the three-way benchmark
Fixes two bugs found during self-correction before publishing:
- /stream used Flux.interval(), which ticks on its own wall-clock schedule
  independent of downstream demand and threw OverflowException under a slow
  subscriber; switched to Flux.range(), which has no independent production
  schedule and can never outrun demand.
- The event-loop-starvation test's first cut used only 8 concurrent /cpu
  requests as background load, which drained through the 4 event-loop
  threads well inside the /io measurement window and produced an
  inconsistent, sometimes-inverted result across runs; raised to 60
  concurrent requests (matching the CPU-bound benchmark's own concurrency)
  so the load actually occupies the event loop for the full window.

Also adds StreamBackpressureTest, a StepVerifier proof that the /stream
endpoint never emits ahead of its subscriber's outstanding requests.

Flux backpressure proof: /stream, requested in batches of 3, 2, then 45
=======================================================================
StepVerifier.create(controller.streamResults(), 3)
.expectNext("event-0", "event-1", "event-2")
.expectNoEvent(Duration.ofMillis(80)) -- no 4th item arrives without a request
.thenRequest(2).expectNext("event-3", "event-4")
.thenRequest(45).expectNextCount(45)
.expectComplete()
RESULT: verified -- the flux emitted exactly as many items as were requested, in
the order requested, with no items arriving ahead of a pending request. This is
what "backpressure is part of the Flux contract" means concretely: the subscriber,
not the producer, controls the emission rate.
