Fix several small performance inefficiencies in hot paths (#61275)
# Objective

Land five small, independent performance fixes found during an audit of
hot paths (anchor resolution, line shaping, worktree scanning, and
sorting in multibuffers).

## Solution

Each fix is its own commit, so **this PR is best reviewed
commit-by-commit** — every commit message contains the full reasoning
for that change:

- `text`: Avoid redundant rope traversal in `Anchor → usize` conversion
— call `offset_for_anchor` directly instead of `summary_for_anchor`,
which recomputed the same byte offset with ~4 extra O(log n) tree walks.
This is the hottest anchor-resolution path.
- `editor`: Avoid double allocation per shaped line —
`line.as_str().into()` instead of `line.clone().into()`, which allocated
twice per visible line, every frame.
- `text`: Use `sort_unstable_by_key` in operation queue insertion —
Lamport timestamps are unique keys and duplicates are deduped right
after, so stability buys nothing.
- `multi_buffer`: Sort with an explicit comparator instead of
`sort_unstable_by_key`, which cloned a `PathKey` (`Arc` refcount bump)
on every comparison.
- `worktree`: Replace O(n²) `Vec::remove` in the deferred-directory pass
with an O(1) `None` assignment — the vec is already
`Vec<Option<ScanJob>>` and is consumed with `.flatten()`.

## Testing

- No behavior changes intended; all changes are mechanical and tests
affected crates pass: `text`, `editor`, `multi_buffer`, `worktree`.
