Benchmark parsing of pretty-printed JSON

Browse Source 
Every input in the benchmark corpus is minified or only lightly spaced, so
none of them exercise the lexer's whitespace handling. Real-world JSON is
frequently indented - configuration files, pretty-printed API responses,
anything kept under version control - where the insignificant whitespace can
outweigh the data itself.

Add a ParseIndented family that re-serializes each document with an
indentation and parses that. The content is identical to the matching
ParseString row, so the pair isolates the cost of the whitespace alone.
Measured here, parsing the indented form costs 16-34% more than the minified
form of the same document, which nothing in the suite currently reports.
