Auto merge of rust-lang#134273 - RalfJung:de-stabilize-bench, r=<try>

de-stabilize bench attribute

This has been soft-unstable since forever (rust-lang#64066), and shown in future-compat reports since Rust 1.77 (rust-lang#116274).

The feature covering `bench` itself is tracked in rust-lang#50297, which has been closed despite still having active feature gates referencing it.
