## High-level PR Summary
This PR optimizes the performance of user list and metrics endpoints by
refactoring SQL queries to use more efficient patterns. The changes
include rewriting queries to use `LATERAL` joins and CTEs with proper
filtering, extracting common user mapping logic into reusable functions,
and adding performance tests with SQL scripts to generate realistic test
data (10,000 mock users and activity events across 100 countries).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Optimize metrics and user list endpoints with SQL refactoring,
caching, and performance tests, adding a `CacheEntry` model and mock
data scripts.
>
> - **Performance Optimization**:
> - Refactor SQL queries in `route.tsx` to use `LATERAL` joins and CTEs
for efficient data retrieval.
> - Implement caching in `route.tsx` using `getOrSetCacheValue()` to
reduce database load.
> - **Database Changes**:
> - Add `CacheEntry` model to `schema.prisma` and create corresponding
table and index in `migration.sql`.
> - Remove auto-migration metadata step from
`check-prisma-migrations.yaml`.
> - **Testing**:
> - Add performance tests in `metrics.test.ts` to benchmark metrics and
user endpoints.
> - Create mock data scripts `mock-users.sql` and
`mock-metric-events.sql` for testing with 10,000 users and events across
100 countries.
> - **Miscellaneous**:
> - Update `db-migrations.ts` to include new migration file generation
logic.
> - Add `cache.tsx` for caching logic implementation.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Metrics now use a cache layer with per-entry TTL and tenancy-aware
loaders.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved accuracy of daily active and related metrics with
tenancy-aware counting and more robust last-active computation.
* **Performance**
* Faster metrics responses via batched reads and cache-backed endpoints.
* **Tests**
* Added end-to-end performance benchmarks and SQL seed scripts for
metrics/user load testing.
* **Chores**
* DB migration added support for cached entries; CI migration check flow
adjusted; migration tooling improved.
