Keep the concurrent benchmark scenario.

This loop runs screenshot captures sequentially. It no longer measures the concurrent SPA workload described by the PR objective and cannot reproduce the reported concurrent speedup. Restore a parallel benchmark, or add a separate concurrent sub-benchmark and label this loop as the sequential baseline.

In `@runner/headless_screenshot_test.go` around lines 128 - 136, The benchmark
loop around ScreenshotWithBody currently performs captures sequentially; restore
concurrent execution for the benchmark scenario, or add a distinct concurrent
sub-benchmark while explicitly retaining this loop as the sequential baseline.
Preserve the existing screenshot validation and failure handling for every
iteration.
