Add a very basic performance comparison test comparing the POSIX
basic, extended and perl engines.
In theory the "basic" and "extended" engines should be implemented
using the same underlying code with a slightly different pattern
parser, but some implementations may not do this. Jump through some
slight hoops to test both, which is worthwhile since "basic" is the
default.
Running this on an i7 3.4GHz Linux 4.9.0-2 Debian testing against a
checkout of linux.git & latest upstream PCRE, both PCRE and git
compiled with -O3 using gcc 7.1.1:
$ GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux ./run p7820-grep-engines.sh
[...]

Options can also be passed to git-grep via the GIT_PERF_7820_GREP_OPTS
environment variable. There are various modes such as "-v" that have
very different performance profiles, but handling the combinatorial
explosion of testing all those options would make this script much
more complex and harder to maintain. Instead just add the ability to
do one-shot runs with arbitrary options, e.g.:
$ GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_7820_GREP_OPTS=" -i" ./run p7820-grep-engines.sh
