⚡️ Speed up function create_trace_replay_test_code by 32% in PR #363 (part-1-windows-fixes)

Here's a **runtime-optimized rewrite** based directly on the profile. The main high-cost issues are.

1. **Repeated module/function alias generation** (especially in two function_imports loops) — avoid recomputing!
2. **Many Path(file_path).as_posix() calls** — precompute or cache since file_path is not mutated.
3. **Constant string formatting and dedent/indent in loops** — minimize usage.
4. **Code structure** — restrain from repeated lookups and temporary allocations in large inner loops.

Below is the **optimized code** (all results/behavior unchanged).



### Key improvements.
- **All function/class/alias/file_path strings are now generated once up-front** and referenced by mapping, not recomputed every iteration.
- **No .split/.join calls or Path() constructions in inner loops.**
- **No textwrap.dedent/indent in inner loop. Uses fast string join with one indentation pass.**
- **Eliminated duplicate lookups in functions_data.**
- **Minimized unnecessary set/list and string allocations.**

This should yield a significant performance boost (especially at scale). Output/behavior is identical; semantic minimization confirmed.
