Add benchmark tests and optimize database performance

- Introduced benchmark tests for various database operations, including event saving, querying, and fetching by serials, to assess performance.
- Implemented optimizations to reduce memory allocations and improve efficiency by pre-allocating slices and maps in critical functions.
- Enhanced the `FetchEventsBySerials`, `GetFullIdPubkeyBySerials`, and `QueryForIds` methods with pre-allocation strategies to minimize reallocations.
- Documented performance improvements in the new PERFORMANCE_REPORT.md file, highlighting significant reductions in execution time and memory usage.
- Bumped version to v0.23.1 to reflect these changes.
