Migrate to cargo criterion

https://github.com/bheisler/cargo-criterion

• cargo-criterion seeks to improve iteration time for Criterion-rs benchmarks. By moving functionality into a separate executable which can be installed once and reused, Criterion-rs can shrink - meaning less code to compile and link into the benchmarks themselves.
• Because cargo-criterion can oversee the whole benchmark process from beginning to end, it's better placed to deliver features that would be difficult to implement in Criterion-rs. These include:
  - Machine-readable output
  - Tracking benchmarked performance over time

This is fantastic. Want. In addition to the above we can get rid of html-reports feature of criterion and bench will have much few dependencies -> faster CI builds.

Start by reviewing the repository's Criterion-rs benchmark configuration and the cargo-criterion project linked in the issue. Migrate the benchmark process to cargo-criterion, remove the criterion html-reports feature where applicable, and verify that CI builds still complete with fewer benchmark dependencies.
