⚡️ Speed up function flatten_grouping by 330%

Here is an optimized version of the provided code, focusing on reducing function call and memory overhead, inlining and shortcutting where safe, and avoiding repetitive work.  
**Key optimizations:**
- **Avoid unnecessary list comprehensions** and intermediate lists where possible by favoring the use of local variables and iterative approaches for `flatten_grouping`.
- **Move schema validation** out of recursive calls by doing it only at the top level if possible inside `flatten_grouping`, to avoid re-validating substructures.
- **Reduce attribute/tuple lookups** and repeated isinstance checks.
- **Micro-optimize recursion:** Tailor the recursive structure to minimize temporary list creation.
- **Minimize tuple concatenation** in `validate_grouping` by reusing a growing list for paths.
- **Avoid set/schema conversions on every recursive call in dicts.**



**Summary of changes and performance justifications:**
- `flatten_grouping` is now iterative and uses an explicit stack, reducing Python call stack depth and temporary list creation.
- Elements are collected in a `result` list in reverse order for speed but reversed once at the end for correctness.
- Dict and tuple/list types are checked using `type() is ...` for speed over `isinstance()`, since structure is known via schema.
- `validate_grouping` uses index-based iteration to avoid tuple unpacking and leverages direct key traversal for dicts.
- All original logic and error handling is preserved for 1:1 behavior.

This approach should result in lower CPU time due to less recursive call and reduced repeated computation, especially for large and deeply nested structures.
