Add #[inline] hints to hot path functions

[joseph-isaacs]

Summary

This PR adds #[inline] hints to a collection of small, frequently-called functions across the codebase to improve performance. These are primarily simple wrapper methods, trait implementations, and utility functions that benefit from inlining to reduce function call overhead.

These are all candidates for inlining because they are:

1. Small wrapper functions with minimal logic
2. Called frequently in hot paths (e.g., binary search, array access)
3. Generic or trait methods where inlining enables better monomorphization
4. Simple accessors and type checks

⚠️ Unknown Walltime execution environment detected

Using the Walltime instrument on standard Hosted Runners will lead to inconsistent data.

For the most accurate results, we recommend using CodSpeed Macro Runners: bare-metal machines fine-tuned for performance measurement consistency.
