Inline diffProps function (#4200)

Inline `diffProps` to take advantage of the props loop to read values and use later in the diff. This avoids duplicate megamorphic reads for props like `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, `children`, `value`, and `checked` since we can reuse reading the value in the props loop for handling elsewhere.

* Inline diffProps (-11 B)
* Inline dangerouslySetInnerHtml handling (-1 B)
   Removes a guaranteed megamorphic access in diffElementNodes
* Golf dangerouslySetInnerHtml handling (-4 B)
* Pull of new children while looping through props (+2 B)
* Read prop value once at start of props loop (+0 B)
* Use prop loop for handling `value` and `checked` (-20 B)
* Add types to new variables
* Clean up comments
* Fix benchmark name
* Add run tracking to 03_update10th1k
* Capture input value and checked props in first props loop (+17 B)
* Golf diffElementNodes (-7 B)
