hub s3 hydrate improvements (#902)

- Feature: Added `--hub-hydration-target-config` option to specify the hydration target via a JSON config file (mutually exclusive with `--hub-hydration-target-spec`); supports `file` and `s3` types with structured settings
  ```json
  {
    "type": "file",
    "settings": {
      "path": "/path/to/hydration/storage"
    }
  }
  ```
  ```json
  {
    "type": "s3",
    "settings": {
      "uri": "s3://bucket[/prefix]",
      "region": "us-east-1",
      "endpoint": "http://localhost:9000",
      "path-style": true
    }
  }
  ```
- Improvement: Hub hydration dehydration skips the `.sentry-native` directory
- Bugfix: Fixed `MakeSafeAbsolutePathInPlace` when a UNC prefix is present but path uses mixed delimiters

+"""Hub sustained load test.
+
+Keeps ~N modules concurrently provisioned from a pool of 1000 predefined
+module names, writing and reading data to each instance, then either letting
+the hub watchdog deprovision idle ones or explicitly deprovisioning them.
+Runs indefinitely until Ctrl-C.
+
+Optional --s3: starts a local MinIO server and configures the hub to use it
+as the de/hydration backend.
+
+Requirements:
+  pip install boto3   (only needed with --s3)

+"""Hub provisioning performance test.
+
+Floods a zenserver hub with concurrent provision requests until the hub rejects
+further provisioning (HTTP 409), then deprovisions all instances and exits.
+A WPR ETW trace runs for the entire test and produces a .etl file for analysis
+in WPA or PerfView (CPU sampling + context-switch events for lock contention).
+
+Optional --s3: starts a local MinIO server and configures the hub to use it
+as the de/hydration backend instead of the default local filesystem.
+
+Requirements:
+  pip install boto3   (only needed with --s3)
+WPR (wpr.exe) must be available (ships with Windows). Running as Administrator
+is required for WPR to collect ETW traces.
