test: relax Java timing tolerances to account for JIT warmup
Increase tolerance for individual timing measurements from ±2% to ±5% to accommodate JIT warmup effects where first iterations run slower than subsequent optimized runs. Maintain ±2% tolerance for total_passed_runtime since it uses minimums that filter out cold starts. - CV threshold: 0.02 → 0.05 (5%) - Mean runtime: ±2% → ±5% - total_passed_runtime: ±2% (unchanged, using filtered minimums) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
