Summary:
This patch does the following:
1. Checks in a copy of the Google Benchmark library into the libc++ repo under `utils/google-benchmark`.
2. Teaches libc++ how to build Google Benchmark against both (A) in-tree libc++ and (B) the platforms native STL.
3. Allows performance benchmarks to be built as part of the libc++ build.
Building the benchmarks (and Google Benchmark) is off by default. It must be enabled using the CMake option `-DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS=ON`. When this option is enabled the tests under `libcxx/benchmarks` can be built using the `libcxx-benchmarks` target.
On Linux platforms where libstdc++ is the default STL the CMake option `-DLIBCXX_BUILD_BENCHMARKS_NATIVE_STDLIB=ON` can be used to build each benchmark test against libstdc++ as well. This is useful for comparing performance between standard libraries.
Support for benchmarks is currently very minimal. They must be manually run by the user and there is no mechanism for detecting performance regressions.
Known Issues:
* `-DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS=ON` is only supported for Clang, and not GCC, since the `-stdlib=libc++` option is needed to build Google Benchmark.

This patch improves the performance of unordered_set's find by 45% when
the value exists within the set. __hash_tables find method
needs to check if it's reached the end of the bucket by constraining the
hash of the current node and checking it against the bucket index. However
constraining the hash is an expensive operations and it can be avoided if the
two unconstrained hashes are equal. This patch applies that optimization.
This patch also adds a top level directory called benchmarks. 'benchmarks/'
is intended to store any/all benchmarks written for the standard library.
Currently nothing is done with files under 'benchmarks/' but I would like
to move towards introducing a formal format and test runner.
