[benchmark] Add an opinionated macro for gRPC benchmark targets (#37012)

As we've learned what configuration is needed for our benchmarks the settings have been growing more and more bespoke for each binary. Try to consolidate that into some useful defaults. Also ensure we always `linkstatic=1`. `cc_binary` defaults to this, so it's reasonable to assume that's the performance our customers see. It also deeply impacts performance for small microbenchmarks, and so enabling it gives us more apples:apples, and saves chasing things that don't matter. Closes #37012 COPYBARA_INTEGRATE_REVIEW=https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/37012 from ctiller:benchmark-bin b84cab58c6 PiperOrigin-RevId: 645483183
