Change CI Perf to run on schedule, no runs on PRs

See #1635

The goal is to collect data for a while. Until we have enough
benchmarks, the PR check is not very useful, so it was disabled.

We added `--tolerate-failure` to all runs, so this check will
never fail because of a missed performance assertion, but it will
report it and archive it.
