The groupby.transform fast path is currently only taken for DataFrame -> DataFrame operations. This PR makes use of the fast path for DataFrame -> Series operations. The performance impact is most observed for wide DataFrames. From what I can see, almost all benchmarks use tall DataFrames with only a few columns. I added an additional benchmark with a wide DataFrame to cover this case.
