Description

I've been toying with the idea of making CRoaring benchmarks print their results in a format compatible with the benchstat tool we use in the Go world for comparing different runs. I think it would help us make more informed decisions when optimizing.

Related to this, after we tackle #284 we should be able to use an allocator that keeps track of how many allocations we make and how much memory we use for a given operation, which could further aid comparison.

Research direction

Start by locating how CRoaring benchmarks currently print their results and compare that output with the format expected by Go's benchstat tool. Review the dependency on issue #284, then define the benchmark output and allocation and memory measurements that would make comparisons useful.
