ci(perf): HTTPS/TLS performance gates for 3.9 - #309

Node.js 20 is deprecated. The following actions target Node.js 20 but are being forced to run on Node.js 24: actions/checkout@v4. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/

Cannot build an overlay database because build-mode is set to "manual" instead of "none". Falling back to creating a normal full database instead.
