Instead of building the benchmarks separately via CMake and running them
separately from the test suite, this patch merges the benchmarks into
the test suite and handles both uniformly.
As a result:
- It is now possible to run individual benchmarks like we run tests
(e.g. using libcxx-lit), which is a huge quality-of-life improvement.
- The benchmarks will be run under exactly the same configuration as
the rest of the tests, which is a nice simplification. This does
mean that one has to be careful to enable the desired optimization
flags when running benchmarks, but that is easy with e.g.
`libcxx-lit <...> --param optimization=speed`.
- Benchmarks can use the same annotations as the rest of the test
suite, such as `// UNSUPPORTED` & friends.
When running the tests via `check-cxx`, we only compile the benchmarks
because running them would be too time consuming. This introduces a bit
of complexity in the testing setup, and instead it would be better to
allow passing a --dry-run flag to GoogleBenchmark executables, which is
the topic of https://github.com/google/benchmark/issues/1827.
I am not really satisfied with the layering violation of adding the
%{benchmark_flags} substitution to cmake-bridge, however I believe
this can be improved in the future.
This is an intermediate and fairly mechanical step towards unifying the
benchmarks with the rest of the test suite. Moving this around requires
a few changes, notably making sure we don't throw a wrench into the
discovery process of the normal test suite. This won't be a problem
anymore once benchmarks are taken into account by the test setup out of
the box.
