+ Optimize `DefaultThreadContextMap.getCopy()` performance by avoiding megamorphic calls in HashMap constructor.
+
+ The optimization replaces `new HashMap<>(map)` with manual iteration to avoid JDK-8368292 performance issues.
+ This provides significant performance improvements:
+
+ * 37% faster for maps with 5 elements (90.9ns → 57.5ns)
+ * 47% faster for maps with 75 elements (1248ns → 667ns)
+ * 39% faster for maps with 1000 elements (18625ns → 11452ns)
+
+ The change maintains identical functional behavior while eliminating megamorphic virtual calls that prevent JIT optimization.
+ This optimization particularly benefits applications with heavy ThreadContext usage such as web applications and microservices.
