Optimize CommentMapper.visit_FunctionDef for PR #719

The optimized code achieves a 13% speedup through several targeted micro-optimizations that reduce overhead in the hot loops:

**Key optimizations applied:**

1. **Hoisted loop-invariant computations**: Moved `isinstance` tuple constants (`compound_types`, `valid_types`) and frequently accessed attributes (`get_comment`, `orig_rt`, `opt_rt`) outside the loops to avoid repeated lookups.

2. **Precomputed key prefix**: Instead of repeatedly concatenating `test_qualified_name + "#" + str(self.abs_path)` inside loops, this is computed once as `key_prefix` and reused with f-string formatting.

3. **Optimized `getattr` usage**: Replaced the costly `getattr(compound_line_node, "body", [])` pattern with a single `getattr(..., None)` call, then conditionally building the `nodes_to_check` list using unpacking (`*compound_line_node_body`) when a body exists.

4. **Reduced function call overhead**: Cached the `get_comment` method reference and called it once per `match_key`, reusing the same comment for all nodes that share the same key, rather than calling it for each individual node.

5. **String formatting optimization**: Replaced string concatenation with f-string formatting for better performance.

**Performance characteristics by test case:**
- **Large-scale tests** show the best improvements (10-79% faster), particularly `test_large_deeply_nested` (78.8% faster) where the inner loop optimizations have maximum impact
- **Basic cases** show modest gains (1-4% faster) as there's less loop iteration overhead to optimize
- **Edge cases** with minimal computation show negligible or slightly negative impact due to the upfront setup cost of hoisted variables

The optimizations are most effective for functions with complex nested structures (for/while/if blocks) and many runtime entries, where the reduced per-iteration overhead compounds significantly.
