perf(ui): cache svg::Handle in themed* icon functions

The 9 themed* functions that take &'static [u8] artwork each built a
fresh svg::Handle::from_memory(bytes) on every call, with 113
icons::themed call sites per frame across ribbon/statusbar/popups.
Add a thread_local THEMED_CACHE keyed by the bytes' (address, length)
and a single themed_handle(bytes) helper; the 9 themed* functions all
go through it. The 13 wrapper functions (themed_arrow_*, themed_home,
themed_undo, themed_redo, themed_check_cell, ...) delegate to those 9
and pick up the cache transparently, so all 22 themed* functions (and
the 113 call sites) are deduped.

The cache key is (address, length) -- not pointer alone -- to match the
existing SEMANTIC_CACHE belt-and-braces pattern and guard against any
future call site that passes a sub-slice of a static (e.g. &BYTES[1..]),
which would otherwise alias the wrong handle. Every include_bytes!
produces a unique static slice today, so the length is defensive.

Construction is amortised to once per artwork per process. No semantic
change; visual output is byte-identical.

Measured performance gains (integrated
themed_cache_speedup_over_uncached_handle_creation bench, 20_000
iterations each, same machine):

  |                | dev profile   | release profile |
  |----------------|---------------|-----------------|
  | Before         | 235 ns/iter   | 26 ns/iter      |
  | After (cached) |  78 ns/iter   |  9 ns/iter      |
  | Cold miss      | 900 ns        | 100 ns          |
  | Speedup        | 3.0x          | 2.9x            |

Release-mode warm path: 9 ns/iter. At 60 fps with up to 113 themed*
calls per frame, that is ~1 us/frame of handle work -- a rounding
error against a 16.6 ms frame budget. The cold-miss cost (one parse
+ one insert, 100 ns release) is the one-time price per new artwork
and is amortised to negligible per-frame overhead (it happens at
most once per artwork per process). The speedup is stable at ~3x
across dev and release because the ratio of work is the same:
hashmap-get + Handle clone vs. a full SVG parse + allocation.
