Description

Based on https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-binary-size/issues/3, we would like to see binary size outputs on a few different targets show up as perf results. Just checking output size should be relatively fast compared to benchmarking so we can probably include any std targets that we can cross compile to, as well as something WASM and a few popular no_std targets.

It would be extra nice if the report could hold expanded details about the size of each section, but that is a bonus rather than a core feature.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the linked rust-lang/wg-binary-size issue and locating how rustc-perf records and reports performance results. Done means reporting binary sizes for several cross-compiled std, WASM, and no_std targets, with section details as an optional enhancement.
