fix: prevent O(n²) memory allocation in content lookup map generation

[ixchio]

Changes

Fixes #14893

• Replaced O(n²) object spread pattern with direct mutation in generateLookupMap
• For each content/data entry, the code was creating new objects via {...lookupMap[collection]?.entries, [key]: value}
• With 10,000+ entries, this caused ~50 million string copies (n × n/2)
• Now uses nullish coalescing (??=) and direct property assignment - O(n) complexity

Before:

lookupMap[collection] = {
  type: 'content',
  entries: {
    ...lookupMap[collection]?.entries, // ← Creates new object each time
    [slug]: rootRelativePath(root, filePath),
  },
};

After

lookupMap[collection] ??= { type: 'content', entries: {} };
lookupMap[collection].entries[slug] = rootRelativePath(root, filePath);

Testing
All 1326 existing tests pass (3 unrelated failures: clipboard + network flakes)
All content-related tests pass: Content Collections, references, render(), Intellisense

Docs
No docs changes needed - this is an internal performance optimization with no API changes.

Wonderful @amankumarpandeyin thank you! Do you have any anecdotal data, did this improve your build performance for example?

@matthewp thanks! i was experiencing OOM errors with large content collections (10k+ entries)... after this change builds complete without memory issues... the fix eliminates the quadratic object copying that was causing 50M string copies for that scale
