🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a benchmark for full-level conversion.

This path converts every original level even when the preview contains few rows. Add a representation benchmark with high-cardinality unused levels and truncated output. This verifies the cost of the required metadata transfer.

As per coding guidelines, "**/*: ... 6. Add unit tests and unit benchmarks."

In `@python/cudf/cudf/core/multiindex.py` around lines 571 - 575, Add a
representation benchmark covering full-level conversion in the MultiIndex
formatting path around the loop over self.levels. Use high-cardinality levels
that are largely unused and a truncated preview, and measure the resulting
representation to verify the cost of transferring all level metadata.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add an all-null level case.

The test data has no null values. It does not exercise the changed missing-code conversion to pandas -1. Add a case with an all-null level and compare repr(result) with pandas.

As per coding guidelines, "python/**/*{test,tests}/**/*.{py,pyx,pxd}: Missing edge case coverage (empty, all-null, single-element, mixed types)."

In `@python/cudf/cudf/tests/indexes/multiindex/test_repr.py` around lines 50 - 52,
Add an all-null level case to the MultiIndex representation tests near the
existing expected MultiIndex setup, using pandas as the reference and asserting
repr(result) matches repr of the corresponding pandas MultiIndex. Ensure the
case exercises conversion of missing level codes to pandas -1 while preserving
the existing non-null coverage.
