Issue:
Add performance tests for v1beta2 TopologyAssignment encoding
**What would you like to be cleaned**:

#7544 adds `V1Beta2From()` to convert "internal" representation of a TopologyAssignment to the "public" v1beta2 format, aiming at fitting more nodes within a single etcd entry.

Ideally I'd like to have "performance" tests for this, of 2 kinds:

- verifying that, at least for the most popular node naming schemes, we can fit 60k nodes
- verifying that the conversion itself does not take too much time (a Golang benchmark)

**Why is this needed**:

This will have some value right away, plus it will become helpful once we consider switching to more sophisticated encoding approaches (i.e. using multiple TopologyAssignmentSlices).

+	// * `slices` specifies the node selector values and pod counts for all domains

+	//   - The node selector values are arranged first by topology level, only then by domain.
+	//     (This allows "optimizing" similar values; see below).
+	// * The format of `slices` supports the following variations
+	//   (aimed to optimize the total bytesize for very large number of domains; see examples below):
+	//   - When all node selector values (at a given topology level, in a given slice)
+	//     share a common prefix and/or suffix, these may be stored
+	//     in dedicated `commonPrefix`/`commonSuffix` fields.
+	//     If so, the array of `roots` will only store the remaining parts of these strings.
+	//   - When all node selector values (at a given topology level, in a given slice)
+	//     are identical, this may be represented by `universal` value.
+	//   - When all pod counts (in a given slice) are identical,
+	//     this may be represented by `universal` pod count.
+	//
+	// Example 1:
+	//
+	// The following represents an assignment in which:
+	// * 4 Pods are to be scheduled on nodes matching the node selector:
+	//   - cloud.provider.com/topology-block: block-1
+	//   - cloud.provider.com/topology-rack: rack-1
+	// * 2 Pods are to be scheduled on nodes matching the node selector:
+	//   - cloud.provider.com/topology-block: block-1

-	// Below there is an equivalent of the above example assuming, Topology

-                            topologyAssignment indicates the topology assignment divided into
-                            topology domains corresponding to the lowest level of the topology.
-                            The assignment specifies the number of Pods to be scheduled per topology
-                            domain and specifies the node selectors for each topology domain, in the
-                            following way: the node selector keys are specified by the levels field
-                            (same for all domains), and the corresponding node selector value is
-                            specified by the domains.values subfield. If the TopologySpec.Levels field contains
-                            "kubernetes.io/hostname" label, topologyAssignment will contain data only for
-                            this label, and omit higher levels in the topology
-
-                            Example:
-
-                            topologyAssignment:
-                              levels:
-                              - cloud.provider.com/topology-block
-                              - cloud.provider.com/topology-rack
-                              domains:
-                              - values: [block-1, rack-1]
-                                count: 4
-                              - values: [block-1, rack-2]
-                                count: 2
-
-                            Here:
-                            - 4 Pods are to be scheduled on nodes matching the node selector:
-                              cloud.provider.com/topology-block: block-1
-                              cloud.provider.com/topology-rack: rack-1
-                            - 2 Pods are to be scheduled on nodes matching the node selector:
-                              cloud.provider.com/topology-block: block-1
-                              cloud.provider.com/topology-rack: rack-2
-
-                            Example:
-                            Below there is an equivalent of the above example assuming, Topology
-                            object defines kubernetes.io/hostname as the lowest level in topology.
-                            Hence we omit higher level of topologies, since the hostname label

+                            field contains \"kubernetes.io/hostname\" label,\n    topologyAssignment
+                            will contain data only for this label,\n    and omit higher
+                            levels in the topology.\n* `slices` specifies the node
+                            selector values and pod counts for all domains\n  (which
+                            may be partitioned into separate slices).\n  - The node
+                            selector values are arranged first by topology level,
+                            only then by domain.\n    (This allows \"optimizing\"
+                            similar values; see below).\n* The format of `slices`
+                            supports the following variations\n  (aimed to optimize
+                            the total bytesize for very large number of domains; see
+                            examples below):\n  - When all node selector values (at

+                            dedicated `commonPrefix`/`commonSuffix` fields.\n    If
+                            so, the array of `roots` will only store the remaining
+                            parts of these strings.\n  - When all node selector values
+                            (at a given topology level, in a given slice)\n    are
+                            identical, this may be represented by `universal` value.\n
+                            \ - When all pod counts (in a given slice) are identical,\n
+                            \   this may be represented by `universal` pod count.\n\nExample

+                            3:\n\nNow suppose that:\n- the Topology object defines
+                            kubernetes.io/hostname as the lowest level\n  (and hence,

+                            a proper node),\n- we assign 1 Pod per each node,\n- the
+                            node naming scheme is `block-{blockId}-rack-{rackId}-node-{nodeId}`.\nThen,
+                            using the \"extraction of commons\", the assignment from
+                            Examples 1-2 would look as follows:\n\ntopologyAssignment:\n

+                            domainCount: 6\n    valuesPerLevel:\n    - individual:\n

+                            \     universal: 1\n\nExample 4:\n\nBy using multiple
+                            slices, we can afford even longer common prefixes.\nThe
+                            assignment from Example 3 can be alternatively represented

+#### Topology assignment representation
+
+`TopologyAssignment` indicates the topology assignment divided into topology domains corresponding to the lowest level of the topology. The assignment specifies the number of Pods to be scheduled per topology domain and the node selectors for each topology domain, in the following way:
+
+- the node selector keys are specified by the `Levels` field (same for all domains),
+- the corresponding node selector values - and the Pod counts - are specified by the other field (`Domains` until v1beta1 or `Slices` since v1beta2).
 
+If the `Levels` field contains `kubernetes.io/hostname` label, the `TopologyAssignment` will contain data only for this label, and omit higher levels in the topology.
+
+##### Until v1beta1
+
+In the older format, each domain assignment is represented by a single entry in the `Domains` list.

+##### Since v1beta2
+
+In v1beta2, the data format is reshaped, with the main goal of improving handling of huge workloads. The 3 main ideas here are:
+
+- splitting the whole assignment structure into slices,
+- broader use of "parallel lists" which should be "zipped together" to produce their meaning \
+  (just like a _single_ list `Levels` in the old format specified the topology levels used in _every_ domain of the assignment),
+- extracting common prefixes and suffixes of node names.

+}
+```
+
+The above mentioned cross-validity rules (mutually exclusive fields, equal lengths, etc.) will be all expressed as `kubebuilder:validation:XValidation` rules on the respective "smallest common container types".
+
+Example (representing the same assignment as in the first example for the [old format](#until-v1beta1)):
+
+```yaml
+topologyAssignment:
+  levels:
+  - cloud.provider.com/topology-block
+  - cloud.provider.com/topology-rack
+  slices:
+  - domainCount: 2
+    valuesPerLevel:
+    - universal: block-1
+    - individual:
+        commonPrefix: rack-
+        roots: [1, 2]
+    podCounts:
+      individual: [4, 2]
 ```
 
+The above example has one slice, specifying 2 domains on 2 topology levels. On the block level, all domains take the same value (`block-1`), which allows using `universal`. On the rack level, the values diverge (`rack-1`) vs. (`rack-2`) but they still share a relatively long common prefix. The new representation allows deduplicating characters between these.
+
+Multiple slices may be used e.g. for a host-level assignment when the nodes being assigned are split into multiple "node pools". The following example illustrates this for an assignment of 12 pods on 12 nodes (1 per 1), where the nodes come from 2 pools (of size 5 and 7 respectively), with node names looking like `pool-X-node-Y`:
+
+```yaml
+topologyAssignment:
+  levels: [kubernetes.io/hostname]
+  slices:
+  - domainCount: 5
+    valuesPerLevel:
+    - individual:
+        commonPrefix: pool-1-node-
+        roots: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+    podCounts:
+      universal: 1
+  - domainCount: 7
+    valuesPerLevel:
+    - individual:
+        commonPrefix: pool-2-node-
+        roots: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
+    podCounts:
+      universal: 1
+```
+
+The main motivation behind the new format is the etcd size limit of 1.5MiB per single resource, which currently restricts the number of nodes that can participate in the assignment for a single workload. (For the v1beta1 format, and the real-life node naming schemes of main K8s vendors, the limit is around 20-30k). The new format helps addressing this problem in 2 time perspectives:
+
+- In the short term, it increases the number of nodes which can fit into 1 etcd entry.
+
+  - By just using a single slice, with extracting common prefix and suffix of all node names, our simulations (for some real-life node naming schemes) suggested a limit of around 60k nodes.
+  
+  - Multiple slices allow optimizing even further, if desired. \
+    Our simulations of more complex algorithms (e.g. heuristic pruning of prefix tree) allowed fitting over 100k nodes. \
+    (However, at that point we reached a tradeoff between bytesize, encoding time, and conceptual simplicity. Resolving that tradeoff is out of scope of this design; the important thing is that the proposed data format supports various specific algorithms).

 **Reasons for discarding/deferring**
 Due to code simplicity concerns and a lack of use cases for the algorithm,
 the decision was made to remove it in favor of `BestFit`.
+
+### TopologyAssignmentSlices as separate CRD instances
+
+In the [v1beta2 format](#since-v1beta2) for TopologyAssignment, we introduce TopologyAssignmentSlices embedded in the WorkloadStatus. This helps fitting larger workloads within a single etcd entry, but still hits a scalability limit.
+
+One way of going beyond that limit would be to extract the slices into separate instances of a dedicated CRD (analogously to how [EndpointSlice](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/3b632270e9b866ee8bf62e89377ae95987671b49/pkg/apis/discovery/types.go#L24-L29) has been introduced in K8s core). This would, in practice, allow storing arbitrarily many nodes, though at some cost. (See "Reasons for deferring" below).
+
+For these reasons, if we choose to do it, we would likely extract only "excess" slices, so that the TAS assignment for smaller workloads can be still kept inside WorkloadStatus.
+
+**Reasons for discarding/deferring**
+
+- Decreased UX of the API (some info delegated to other objects).
+- Decreased performance of Kueue scheduler (need to do more etcd reads and writes). \
+  (In particular, even when we end up using slices in separate CRDs, the "compression capabilities" introduced in v1beta2 are going to improve performance by reducing the necessary number of such slices).

-(same for all domains), and the corresponding node selector value is
-specified by the domains.values subfield. If the TopologySpec.Levels field contains

+<li><code>slices</code> specifies the node selector values and pod counts for all domains
+(which may be partitioned into separate slices).
+<ul>
+<li>The node selector values are arranged first by topology level, only then by domain.
+(This allows &quot;optimizing&quot; similar values; see below).</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>The format of <code>slices</code> supports the following variations
+(aimed to optimize the total bytesize for very large number of domains; see examples below):
+<ul>
+<li>When all node selector values (at a given topology level, in a given slice)
+share a common prefix and/or suffix, these may be stored
+in dedicated <code>commonPrefix</code>/<code>commonSuffix</code> fields.
+If so, the array of <code>roots</code> will only store the remaining parts of these strings.</li>
+<li>When all node selector values (at a given topology level, in a given slice)
+are identical, this may be represented by <code>universal</code> value.</li>
+<li>When all pod counts (in a given slice) are identical,
+this may be represented by <code>universal</code> pod count.</li>
