David Gwilliam 4c97cfe6aa fix: Implement ViewportFilterStage to prevent FontStage performance regression with large datasets
## Summary

Fixed critical performance issue where demo/poetry presets would hang for 10+ seconds due to FontStage rendering all 1438+ headline items instead of just the visible ~5 items.

## Changes

### Core Fix: ViewportFilterStage
- New pipeline stage that filters items to only those fitting in the viewport
- Reduces 1438 items → ~5 items (288x reduction) before FontStage
- Prevents expensive PIL font rendering operations on items that won't be displayed
- Located: engine/pipeline/adapters.py:348-403

### Pipeline Integration
- Updated app.py to add ViewportFilterStage before FontStage for headlines/poetry sources
- Ensures correct data flow: source → viewport_filter → font → camera → effects → display
- ViewportFilterStage depends on 'source' capability, providing pass-through filtering

### Display Protocol Enhancement
- Added is_quit_requested() and clear_quit_request() method signatures to Display protocol
- Documented as optional methods for backends supporting keyboard input
- Already implemented by pygame backend, now formally part of protocol

### Debug Infrastructure
- Added MAINLINE_DEBUG_DATAFLOW environment variable logging throughout pipeline
- Logs stage input/output types and data sizes to stderr (when flag enabled)
- Verified working: 1438 → 5 item reduction shown in debug output

### Performance Testing
- Added pytest-benchmark (v5.2.3) as dev dependency for statistical benchmarking
- Created comprehensive performance regression tests (tests/test_performance_regression.py)
- Tests verify:
  - ViewportFilterStage filters 2000 items efficiently (<1ms)
  - FontStage processes filtered items quickly (<50ms)
  - 288x performance improvement ratio maintained
  - Pipeline doesn't hang with large datasets
- All 523 tests passing, including 7 new performance tests

## Performance Impact

**Before:** FontStage renders all 1438 items per frame → 10+ second hang
**After:** FontStage renders ~5 items per frame → sub-second execution

Real-world impact: Demo preset now responsive and usable with news sources.

## Testing

- Unit tests: 523 passed, 16 skipped
- Regression tests: Catch performance degradation with large datasets
- E2E verification: Debug logging confirms correct pipeline flow
- Benchmark suite: Statistical performance tracking enabled
