perf(electron): compile the main-process bundle from a V8 code cache (#1696)

main.js is now a small entry that enables Node's on-disk V8 compile cache under userData/v8-compile-cache and then requires the application bundle main.app.js. Warm launches reach app.whenReady about 13 ms sooner at the median; IPTVNATOR_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 turns it off and IPTVNATOR_COMPILE_CACHE_DIR relocates it.

Packaging now ships main.app.js explicitly and verify:package-layout requires the main-process entry files in app.asar, because nx-electron copies the backend through an allowlist. The Xtream benchmark build identity hashes both the launcher and the bundle.

The process entry is `apps/electron-backend/src/main.entry.ts` (built to
`dist/apps/electron-backend/main.js`): it enables the V8 compile cache under
`userData/v8-compile-cache` and then requires the application bundle,
`main.app.js`, built from `apps/electron-backend/src/main.ts`, which bootstraps
the database, registers events and creates the main window. The cache is
disposable; `IPTVNATOR_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1` turns it off and
`IPTVNATOR_COMPILE_CACHE_DIR` relocates it (E2E runs keep it inside
`IPTVNATOR_E2E_DATA_DIR`). nx-electron packages the backend through an
allowlist, so `apps/electron-backend/project.json` lists `main.app.js` under the
`files` option of the `package` and `make` targets, and `verify:package-layout`
fails when either entry file is missing from `app.asar`. The preload is
`apps/electron-backend/src/app/api/main.preload.ts`, with handlers under
`apps/electron-backend/src/app/events/`. The window follows the saved startup mode
(normal/maximized/fullscreen); `--fullscreen` overrides a single launch. Use
