The main objective of scripts in the perf framework is to
run "test_perf", which measures the time it takes to run
some operation. However, it can also be interesting to see
the change in the output size of certain operations.
This patch introduces test_size, which records a single
numeric output from the test and shows it in the aggregated
output (with pretty printing and relative size comparison).
I'm interested in exploring this test_size mechanism. The other area
that could benefit from size testing is 'git repack', but I don't have
any plans to change our compression or delta strategies. If we _did_
look into that, then using test_size would be a natural fit.
Overall, I really like this series!
