Add benchmarks for parsing from a FILE* and for many values from a stream

ParseFILE/* parses the nativejson-benchmark files from a FILE*, and
ParseStreamValues/* reads 10,000 small values from one std::istringstream
with operator>> (NDJSON objects and plain numbers), which measures the
per-value cost of stream input.
