Spelling.pm: gate the multi-word corrections on a single regex
check_spelling() scanned the text once per entry in
spelling/corrections-multiword, that is 24 separate passes for every
text checked, even though a text almost never contains any of them.
Build the union of the patterns next to the list itself and return early
unless it matches. The loop then runs only for the texts that do have a
multi-word mistake, and everything else pays for one pass instead of 24.
Perf: NYTProf on rust-coreutils (amd64) attributed 0.48s of a 15.7s run
to the 224328 matches in that loop.

Documentation.pm: match the file name lists as compiled regexes
any { $item->basename =~ m{$_}xi } interpolates a plain string into the
pattern, so all 23 entries of @DOCUMENTATION_FILE_REGEXES were compiled
again for every installed file. The alternatives are independent, so
they can be joined into a single regular expression built once; the
shorter @NOT_DOCUMENTATION_FILE_REGEXES is precompiled to qr in place.
Perf: NYTProf on rust-coreutils (amd64) attributed 0.25s of a 15.7s run
to the first of the two lines.

Php/Pear/Embedded.pm: precompile the provider regexes
/^$provider$/ interpolates a plain string, and the table values are
plain strings too, because concatenating a qr with $PEAR_EXT stringifies
both operands, so /$PEAR_FILES{$provider}/ compiles a pattern as well.
Both were compiled once per provider per installed file.
Build the table once, with both sides compiled to qr, and pre-filter on
".php". Every value in the table ends in the mandatory $PEAR_EXT factor,
which requires it, so the pre-filter cannot hide a match.
Perf: NYTProf on rust-coreutils (amd64) attributed 0.24s of a 15.7s run
to the two matches.

Php/Embedded.pm: precompile the provider regexes
/^$provider$/ interpolates a plain string, and the table values are
plain strings as well, so /$PHP_FILES{$provider}/ compiles a pattern
too. Both were compiled once per provider per installed file.
Build the table once, with both sides compiled to qr, and pre-filter on
".php", ".inc" or ".dtd". Every alternative of every pattern in the
table requires one of the three, so the pre-filter cannot hide a match.
Perf: NYTProf on rust-coreutils (amd64) attributed 0.36s of a 15.7s run
to the two matches.

Javascript/Embedded.pm: precompile the provider regexes
Two patterns were recompiled on every iteration of the loop over
%JS_FILES. The provider key is a plain string interpolated into
/^$provider$/. The table values are plain strings too, because
concatenating a qr with $JS_EXT stringifies both operands, so
/$JS_FILES{$provider}/ compiles a pattern as well. With one entry per
provider and one call per installed file, that is 162552 compilations of
each on rust-coreutils.
Build the table once, with both sides compiled to qr, and pre-filter on
".js" or ".css". Every value in the table ends in the mandatory $JS_EXT
factor, which requires one of them, except libjs-normalize, which
requires ".css" directly; so the pre-filter cannot hide a match. Almost
no installed file has either extension, and those now skip the loop --
and the resolve_path() for doxygen.css above it -- altogether.
Perf: NYTProf on rust-coreutils (amd64) attributed 2.31s of a 15.7s run
to the two matches; they no longer appear in the profile.

Trim spelling text with builtin::trim
Both check_spelling and check_spelling_picky trim leading and trailing
whitespace. The previous alternation regex
=~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g;
scans the whole buffer from every position. builtin::trim
(non-experimental since Perl 5.40, present in both trixie and sid)
removes the ends in a single C opcode, as already done in Cruft.pm
(MR !771).
Benchmark (ceph-test_20.2.4+ds-1_amd64.deb):
Full lintian run, wall-clock median of 5 (interleaved to control load drift):
baseline (master, alternation regex) 44.93s
builtin::trim 42.04s (-2.89s, -6.4%)
AI-assisted: yes, opencode + deepseek-v4-flash

new tags: "go-library-package-does-not-include-version" and "go-source-package-does-not-include-version" (Closes: #1147142)
Module aware builds require the packages to contain the version suffix
in source and library dev packages. Flag packages which do not have the same.
