When running benchmarks with profilers and trying to
compare one run against another, it is very useful to be
able to force each run to execute exactly the same number
of iterations.
Discussion on the proposal issue #24735 led to the decision
to overload -benchtime, so that instead of saying
-benchtime 10s to run a benchmark for 10 seconds,
you say -benchtime 100x to run a benchmark 100 times.
