Merge #18011: Replace current benchmarking framework with nanobench
78c312c983 Replace current benchmarking framework with nanobench (Martin Ankerl)

Pull request description:

  Replace current benchmarking framework with nanobench

  This replaces the current benchmarking framework with nanobench [1], an
  MIT licensed single-header benchmarking library, of which I am the
  autor. This has in my opinion several advantages, especially on Linux:

  * fast: Running all benchmarks takes ~6 seconds instead of 4m13s on
    an Intel i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz.

  * accurate: I ran e.g. the benchmark for SipHash_32b 10 times and
    calculate standard deviation / mean = coefficient of variation:

    * 0.57% CV for old benchmarking framework
    * 0.20% CV for nanobench

    So the benchmark results with nanobench seem to vary less than with
    the old framework.

  * It automatically determines runtime based on clock precision, no need
    to specify number of evaluations.

  * measure instructions, cycles, branches, instructions per cycle,
    branch misses (only Linux, when performance counters are available)

  * output in markdown table format.

  * Warn about unstable environment (frequency scaling, turbo, ...)

  * For better profiling, it is possible to set the environment variable
    NANOBENCH_ENDLESS to force endless running of a particular benchmark
    without the need to recompile. This makes it to e.g. run "perf top"
    and look at hotspots.

  Here is an example copy & pasted from the terminal output:
