expvar: add benchmarks for steady-state Map Add calls
Add a benchmark for setting a String value, which we may
want to treat differently from Int or Float due to the need to support
Add methods for the latter.
Update tests to use only the exported API instead of making (fragile)
assumptions about unexported fields.
The existing Map benchmarks construct a new Map for each iteration, which
focuses the benchmark results on the initial allocation costs for the
Map and its entries. This change adds variants of the benchmarks which
use a long-lived map in order to measure steady-state performance for
Map updates on existing keys.
