.NET 9 per-preview performance overview

[kotlarmilos]

Description

This issue provides an overview of the all performance regressions from microbenchmark automated runs in WASM, Mono AOT, and Interpreter during the timeframe of .NET 9 preview releases. WASM regressions are tracked separately at #96444.
