Streamline fuzzer workflow

[robert3005]

• Separate build from fuzz run
• Minimise every corpus
• Checkpoint the corpus in the background so we don't lose progress on spot preemption

Merging this PR will regress 3 benchmarks

⚠️ Unknown Walltime execution environment detected

Using the Walltime instrument on standard Hosted Runners will lead to inconsistent data.

For the most accurate results, we recommend using CodSpeed Macro Runners: bare-metal machines fine-tuned for performance measurement consistency.

⚠️ Different runtime environments detected

Some benchmarks with significant performance changes were compared across different runtime environments,
which may affect the accuracy of the results.

⚡ 3 improved benchmarks
❌ 3 regressed benchmarks
✅ 2166 untouched benchmarks
⏩ 206 skipped benchmarks¹

Warning

Please fix the performance issues or acknowledge them on CodSpeed.
