bench: increase in_list benchmark coverage (#19443)

## Which issue does this PR close?

- Related to #19241

## Rationale for this change

This PR adds benchmarks and tests to ground upcoming `in_list`
optimizations:

1. **Realistic Data Patterns**: Adds mixed-length string benchmarks to
accurately measure the `StringView` two-stage lookup (prefix check +
validation) performance across variable lengths.

2. **Type Coverage**: Adds baseline tests for temporal and decimal types
to ensure correctness before they are migrated to specialized evaluation
paths.

## What changes are included in this PR?

- **Mixed-Length Benchmarks**: Scenarios for `StringArray` and
`StringViewArray` with variable lengths, match rates, and null
densities.

- **Extended Tests**: Coverage for esoteric types (Temporal, Duration,
Interval, Decimal256) in `physical-expr`.

## Are these changes tested?

Yes, via new unit tests and benchmark verification.

## Are there any user-facing changes?

No.
