Niels Lohmann 81bc423ead Add benchmarks for the binary readers ...

The benchmark suite covered parsing JSON text, dumping, and serializing to
CBOR, but only one binary read: FromMsgpack. Nothing measured from_cbor,
from_ubjson, from_bjdata or from_bson, so a change to binary_reader.hpp had
no baseline to be compared against.

Add read benchmarks for every format, in the two shapes that matter: from a
contiguous buffer, which is what most callers pass, and from a FILE*, which
is what FromMsgpack already measures and which compiles to different code.
FromMsgpack itself is left untouched so its numbers stay comparable across
releases. The input is derived at setup time by serializing a parsed test
file, because the test data repository ships JSON only.

The test files are wide and shallow, but the readers' cost is per container,
so add three value shapes they do not cover -- deeply nested containers, many
sibling containers, and one flat array of numbers -- plus an indefinite-length
CBOR string, a form the writer never emits and which therefore has to be
assembled by hand. UBJSON and BJData are also captured in their size- and
type-annotated form, which the readers handle in a separate code path.

BSON requires an object at the top level, so it cannot reuse the array-rooted
test files; it is captured on the object-rooted ones, and the shapes are
wrapped in an object so every format measures the same value. The setup marks
the benchmark as skipped rather than letting the exception escape if that
requirement is ever violated.
