Paul Sokolovsky aaff82afe5 tests: Add framework for comparative benchmarking.
Motivation is optimizing handling of various constructs as well as
understanding which constructs are more efficient in MicroPython.

Results are wildly unexpected. For example, "optimization" of range
iteration into while loop makes it twice as slow. Generally, the more
bytecodes, the slower the code.

This directory contains tests for various functionality areas of MicroPython.
To run all stable tests, run "run-tests" script in this directory. Note
that bytecode tests are not yet stable and should be run separately in
"bytecode" subdirectory.

When creating new tests, anything that relies on float support should go in the 
float/ subdirectory.  Anything that relies on import x, where x is not a built-in
module, should go in the import/ subdirectory.
