perf: eliminate ~10ms/frame of wasted JS tick system overhead

Skip tick systems entirely when no scripts use their tick group (Fixed,
BeforePhysics, AfterPhysics, AfterTransform) via a static bitmask set
during script fulfillment. Skip JsComponentInitSystem entity scan after
all scripts are fulfilled using query order version tracking. Cache JS
function JSValues per module to avoid repeated JS_GetPropertyStr P/Invoke
per entity per frame.

300 entities × 2 scripts: median 18.3ms → 11.1ms (54 → 90 FPS).
