part of #3213
We should only have one diagnostic struct instead 353 copies of them, so we don't end up choking LLVM with 50k lines of the same code due to monomorphization.
If the proposed approach is good, then I'll start writing a codemod to turn all the existing structs to plain functions.

Background:
Using `--timings`, we see `oxc_linter` is slow on codegen (the purple part).
The crate currently contains 353 miette errors. [cargo-llvm-lines](https://github.com/dtolnay/cargo-llvm-lines) displays
```
cargo llvm-lines -p oxc_linter --lib --release

It's totalling more than 50k llvm lines, and is putting pressure on rustc codegen (the purple part on `oxc_linter` in the image above.

It's pretty obvious by looking at https://github.com/zkat/miette/blob/main/src/eyreish/error.rs, the generics can expand out to lots of code.
Not a substantive change. This just prevents the other benchmark jobs
showing greyed-out "Build NAPI benchmark" steps, and makes the workflow
file easier to follow.
CI tasks were stuck at "Waiting for status to be reported", and unable
to merge until they passed. Problem was that CI task doesn't run if only
`.yml` files are altered. So have added a dummy comment to a random Rust
file just to get it to run. Will make another PR after to remove the
comment again!
Hi! I have created a proof of concept of improving using oxc in
JavaScript. The method is not polished but it provides valuable insights
for future direction!
Feel free to close~ It is for reference only :)
# Context
This is a proof of concept implementation of passing binary AST to
JavaScript. JavaScript can selectively read flexbuffers-based AST nodes
on demand to avoid the deserialization toll. More context
[here](https://dev.to/herrington_darkholme/benchmark-typescript-parsers-demystify-rust-tooling-performance-2go8).
# Changes
* Add a `parseSyncBuffer` napi method to return a binary AST from Rust
to JavaScript. The AST is in flexbuffer format.
* Add a `test_buffer.js` to test usage of flexbuffers in JavaScript. It
is in cjs format because flexbuffers does not support ESM :/
# Result
Some preliminary results, for reference only.
```
~ node test_buffer.js
testJSON: 4.043s
testBuffer: 2.395s
```
Buffer based API is 100% faster than JSON.
# Future Ideas
* Flexbuffers itself is slow. A better binary protocol is desired!
* Using binary reader to traverse AST is undesirable. A proxy-based API
to emulate object behavior will be nice.
