E2E Test for Issue #452: O(n²) complexity in _scan_risky_placeholders causes 100-250x slowdown

This test exercises the full CLI path from `pdd generate` to verify that the preprocessing
step demonstrates quadratic performance degradation on large prompt files with many placeholders.

The bug: The _scan_risky_placeholders() function in preprocess.py has O(n²) complexity due to
repeatedly counting newlines from the start of the file for every placeholder. This causes
severe performance degradation on large prompt files (5000+ lines).

User-facing impact:
- `pdd generate large_prompt.prompt` takes 60-240s instead of <1s on files with 5000+ lines
- `pdd sync` operations multiply the delay (5 attempts = 5+ minutes of preprocessing)
- CI/CD pipelines timeout
- Developer iteration completely broken

This E2E test:
1. Creates prompt files of increasing size (2k, 4k, 8k lines) with placeholders
2. Runs `pdd generate` through Click's CliRunner
3. Measures wall-clock time for the full generate operation
4. Verifies that doubling the file size causes more than 2.5x slowdown (indicating O(n²))

The test should FAIL on buggy code (quadratic scaling) and PASS once the fix is applied.
