Deflake app test suite: hermetic caches, robust async waits, perf-gate retry (#1365)

Browse Source 
Four spurious CI failures on July 5, all loaded-runner flakiness:

- ViewSmokeTests.voiceAndMediaViews_renderAndWarmCaches asserted an exact
  bin count on WaveformCache.shared for the same URL the mounted
  VoiceNoteView was concurrently warming at its default 120-bin width;
  whichever barrier write landed last owned the entry. Probe the cache with
  a dedicated audio file no view touches, and purge both URLs. Also replace
  the fixed 250ms sleep for loadDuration's background hop with a waitUntil
  poll.

- sendImage_privateChatProcessesAndTransfersImage (and its sendVoiceNote /
  sendImage siblings) wait on work that hops through Task.detached; the
  global executor is shared with every parallel test worker, so a loaded
  runner can exceed the 5s wait. Raise those positive waits to
  TestConstants.longTimeout (10s) — waitUntil returns as soon as the
  condition holds, so passing runs are unaffected.

- subscribeNostrEvent_addsToTimeline_ifMatchesGeohash raced concurrently
  running suites (e.g. CommandProcessorTests) on the process-wide
  LocationChannelManager singleton: a mid-test channel flip reroutes or
  drops the event permanently, so no fixed wait recovers. The wait loop now
  re-asserts the channel and redelivers the event on each poll — idempotent
  because channel switches clear the processed-event set and the store
  dedups by message ID — so interference heals while genuine failures still
  time out.

- The performance floor gate failed on a saturated runner
  (gcs.buildAndDecode at 85% of floor). check-perf-floors.sh now re-runs
  the benchmark suite up to twice when a metric lands below floor,
  appending to the same PERF log and keeping each benchmark's best value
  across attempts: noise clears on a retry, a real algorithmic regression
  fails every attempt. Floors are unchanged and never lowered by the
  mechanism; missing-benchmark failures exit immediately without retrying.

# never runner variance. Raise floors deliberately after intentional
# improvements; never tune them to chase noise.
#
# Retry-on-noise: even generous floors can be dipped under by a saturated
# runner (observed: gcs.buildAndDecode at 85% of floor on a loaded GitHub
# macOS runner). When a benchmark lands below its floor, the gate re-runs the
# benchmark suite — appending to the same PERF log — and keeps each
# benchmark's BEST observed value across attempts. Runner noise clears on a
# retry; a real algorithmic regression stays below floor on every attempt and
# still fails. Floors themselves are never lowered by this mechanism.
#
# Usage: scripts/check-perf-floors.sh <test-output-file> [floors-file]
#
# Environment:
# BITCHAT_PERF_GATE_ATTEMPTS total measurement attempts (default 3)
# BITCHAT_PERF_REMEASURE_CMD command run to re-measure on a below-floor
# result (default: swift test --quiet
# --filter PerformanceBaselineTests). The
# command runs with BITCHAT_PERF_LOG pointed at
# the output file so new PERF lines append.
#
# Skips gracefully (exit 0) when:
# - BITCHAT_SKIP_PERF_BASELINES=1 (perf tests were skipped), or
# - the output contains no PERF lines (e.g. package-only matrix entries).
#
# Fails (exit 1) when:
# - any benchmark reports throughput below its floor, or
# - PERF lines are present but a floored benchmark is missing
# (a silently-dropped benchmark must be an explicit floors-file change).
# Fails when:
# - any benchmark reports throughput below its floor on every attempt
# (exit 1), or
# - PERF lines are present but a floored benchmark is missing — a
# silently-dropped benchmark must be an explicit floors-file change and
# is not retried (exit 3).
