chore(benchmarks): Rehauling Benchmark Workloads (#2716)

## Things changes

* using new action plugin:
[benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark](https://github.com/benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark)
* previous library was
[bobheadxi/gobenchdata](https://github.com/bobheadxi/gobenchdata)
* creating alerts when benchmarks results are worse

## Things unchanged

* Pushing benchmarks results onto a local branch, then `benchmark`
repository will fetch from this into his own `gh-pages`
  * direct push is possible but requires PAT token to be used 

## Things TODO (before merging)

* restore benchmarks actions which were manually disabled directly in
the `Action` menu in Github
* drop and recreate branch  `gh-repository`
* fix benchmark tests in Gno repo (see #2711 and #2714)
* Evaluate alternative configuration possibilities
[here](https://github.com/benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark?tab=readme-ov-file#action-inputs)

## Things to consider (performance)

* Should solve #2432 
* are resources available in the Github basic runners enough for
benchmarks?
* are multiple runs spawned in the same hw conditions?
* consider using [Larger
Runner](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-larger-runners/managing-larger-runners#adding-a-larger-runner-to-an-organization)
or restoring a [Self-Hosted
Runner](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners#adding-a-self-hosted-runner-to-an-organization)
