test(materials): add cantilever material cache zero allocations test

New 308-line test file included in main test/runtests.jl:
- Tests GlobalMaterialCache with cantilever beam problem
- Verifies ZERO allocations during state access and updates
- Tests cache creation from material traits (automatic)
- Tests time-stepping workflow with zero allocations in hot loop
- Includes performance benchmarks using BenchmarkTools

Cantilever Beam Test with GlobalMaterialCache - Zero Allocation Verification
This test demonstrates that the GlobalMaterialCache system:
1. Works correctly with material traits
2. Has ZERO allocations during state access and updates
3. Integrates properly with a real cantilever beam problem
The test uses a simple cantilever beam to verify:
- Cache creation from material traits (automatic)
- State access operations (zero allocations)
- State update operations (zero allocations)
- Time-stepping workflow (zero allocations in hot loop)
