🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a unit benchmark for timestamp encoding.

This per-value GPU path now adds normalization arithmetic and branches. Add a benchmark for large negative timestamp columns at millisecond, microsecond, and nanosecond resolutions.

As per coding guidelines, **/* requires unit tests and unit benchmarks.

In `@cpp/src/io/orc/stripe_enc.cu` around lines 802 - 824, Add a unit benchmark
covering the timestamp encoding path shown around the per-value conversion of
column elements, using large negative timestamp columns at millisecond,
microsecond, and nanosecond resolutions. Exercise the normalization branches and
measure encoding performance for each resolution, following the repository’s
existing unit benchmark conventions.

I don't think adding two ifs adds a lot of overhead to this huge kernel. punting on this.
