Subject: [PATCH] perf: reduce allocations in data-driven test execution hot
 path

Combines four micro-optimizations in the MSTest adapter execution path:

- CloneForDataDrivenIteration: pass _properties directly to the ctor
  instead of building an intermediate snapshot Dictionary. The null/null
  ctor branch already takes a shallow copy, so one Dictionary + O(n) copy
  per data-driven iteration is removed. (#9602)

- ExecuteTestAsync: add a fast path when no ExecutionContext was captured
  by [AssemblyInitialize]/[ClassInitialize] (the common case). Skips the
  TaskCompletionSource + closure + Action delegate allocations and awaits
  the executor directly; the captured-context slow path is unchanged. (#9603)

- ReflectionTestMethodInfo.GetParameters(): cache the ParameterInfo[] since
  MethodInfo.GetParameters() allocates a fresh array on every call and the
  wrapped MethodInfo is immutable. (#9605, #9593)

- TestMethodInfo.ResolveArguments(): use the cached ParameterTypes property
  instead of calling MethodInfo.GetParameters() directly. (#9605)

- TestMethodRunner: reuse a single ReflectionTestMethodInfo wrapper across
  all data rows instead of allocating one per row. (#9605, #9593)
