DEV: Improve built-in browser performance marks/measurements (#26758)

- Rename `discourse-booted` to 'discourse-init' (because 'booted' makes it sound like boot was finished. When in fact, it was just starting)

- Introduce `discourse-paint`, which is fired after the Ember application has been painted to the screen by the browser. This happens slightly after DOMContentLoaded

- Add a `performance.measure` call to link those two marks, so they're easily visible in performance traces

Also removes an ember boot-order workaround which is no longer required.
