t/perf: add basic perf tests for delta base cache

This just shows off the improvements done by the last few patches, and gives us a baseline for noticing regressions in the future. Here are the results with linux.git as the perf "large repo": Test origin HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------- 0003.1: log --raw 43.41(40.36+2.69) 33.86(30.96+2.41) -22.0% 0003.2: log -S 313.61(309.74+3.78) 298.75(295.58+3.00) -4.7% (for a large repo, the "log -S" improvements are greater if you bump the delta base cache limit, but I think it makes sense to test the "stock" behavior, since that is what most people will see).

5 +We look at both "log --raw", which should put only trees into the delta cache,
6 +and "log -Sfoo --raw", which should look at both trees and blobs.
7 +
8 +Any effects will be emphasized if the test repository is fully packed (loose
9 +objects obviously do not use the delta base cache at all). It is also
10 +emphasized if the pack has long delta chains (e.g., as produced by "gc
11 +--aggressive"), though cache is still quite noticeable even with the default
12 +depth of 50.
13 +
14 +The setting of core.deltaBaseCacheLimit in the source repository is also
15 +relevant (depending on the size of your test repo), so be sure it is consistent
16 +between runs.
