Marks Variant types that *must* be constructed/destroyed via FFI.
`Extend` pre-allocates from the iterator's size hint, removing per-element grow overhead. The hint is a lower bound only: an over-reporting iterator appends what it yields and trims unused trailing slots instead of panicking. `resize_default` complements `resize()` for default-constructible types needing no explicit fill value.

POD builtin types (numbers, vectors, color, RID) marshal directly into/from Variant's raw memory layout, skipping Godot FFI for both value conversion and lifecycle (clone, drop, default). The `variant-ffi-marshal` feature restores the FFI path for A/B benchmarking. Tests and benchmarks verify both the round-trip correctness and cross-FFI layout agreement (Godot-created variants decoded by `RustVariant` view and vice versa).

For
VariantholdingCopybuiltin types (or rather those that don't need an FFI constructor/destructor), we can emulate Godot'sVariantlayout directly in Rust. This saves a large number of FFI calls for justVariantconversions and has the potential to speed up operations across the board.
