perf(formatter): replace String buffer with byte-oriented CodeBuffer (#14752)

- Use CodeBuffer (Vec<u8>) instead of String for internal buffer
- SIMD-optimized indentation via CodeBuffer.print_indent()
- Unified byte-level iteration eliminates .chars() iterator overhead
- ASCII fast-path (95%+ of JavaScript) handled inline without UTF-8 decoding
- Multi-byte UTF-8 decoded on-demand only when needed
- Maintains Unicode width calculation correctness
