⚡️ Speed up method InjectPerfOnly.visit_FunctionDef by 24% in PR #363 (part-1-windows-fixes)

Here's an optimized rewrite of **your original code**, focusing on critical hotspots from the profiler data.

**Optimization summary:**
- Inline the `node_in_call_position` logic directly into **find_and_update_line_node** to avoid repeated function call overhead for every AST node; because inner loop is extremely hot.
- Pre-split self.call_positions into an efficient lookup format for calls if positions are reused often.
- Reduce redundant attribute access and method calls by caching frequently accessed values where possible.
- Move branching on the most frequent path (ast.Name) up, and short-circuit to avoid unnecessary checks.
- Fast path for common case: ast.Name, skipping .unparse and unnecessary packing/mapping.
- Avoid repeated `ast.Name(id="codeflash_loop_index", ctx=ast.Load())` construction by storing as a field (`self.ast_codeflash_loop_index` etc.) (since they're repeated many times for a single method walk, re-use them).
- Stop walking after the first relevant call in the node; don't continue iterating once we've performed a replacement.

Below is the optimized code, with all comments and function signatures unmodified except where logic was changed.



**Key performance wins:**
- Hot inner loop now inlines the call position check, caches common constants, and breaks early.
- AST node creation for names and constants is avoided repeatedly—where possible, they are re-used or built up front.
- Redundant access to self fields or function attributes is limited, only happening at the top of find_and_update_line_node.
- Fast path (ast.Name) is handled first and breaks early, further reducing unnecessary work in the common case.

This will **substantially improve the speed** of the code when processing many test nodes with many function call ASTs.
