Martin Ankerl 78c312c983 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:

* Adds support for asymptotes

  This adds support to calculate asymptotic complexity of a benchmark.
  This is similar to #17375, but currently only one asymptote is
  supported, and I have added support in the benchmark `ComplexMemPool`
  as an example.

  Usage is e.g. like this:

  ```
  ./bench_bitcoin -filter=ComplexMemPool -asymptote=25,50,100,200,400,600,800
  ```

  This runs the benchmark `ComplexMemPool` several times but with
  different complexityN settings. The benchmark can extract that number
  and use it accordingly. Here, it's used for `childTxs`. The output is
  this:

  | complexityN |               ns/op |                op/s |    err% |          ins/op |          cyc/op |    IPC |     total | benchmark

  |         800 |      310,109,077.00 |                3.22 |    0.1% |1,149,134,246.00 |  984,620,812.00 |  1.167 |      3.41 | `ComplexMemPool`

  |   coefficient |   err% | complexity
  |--------------:|-------:|------------
  |   4.78486e-07 |   4.5% | O(n^2)
  |   6.38557e-10 |  21.7% | O(n^3)
  |   3.42338e-05 |  38.0% | O(n log n)
  |   0.000313914 |  46.9% | O(n)
  |     0.0129823 | 114.4% | O(log n)
  |     0.0815055 | 133.8% | O(1)

  The best fitting curve is O(n^2), so the algorithm seems to scale
  quadratic with `childTxs` in the range 25 to 800.
