Which issue does this PR close?
Rationale for this change
The DataFusion project has an extensive benchmarking infrastructure with many different benchmark types (TPCH, ClickBench, IMDB, H2O.ai, micro-benchmarks, etc.) scattered across README files and code comments. Contributors need a centralized, easily discoverable resource to understand what benchmarks are available, how to use them for validating performance changes, and where to add new benchmark code. This addresses the maintainer's request in issue #17811 to create a dedicated documentation page describing all the benchmark code we have.
