Make sure that the count is a zero modulo the new mask before scaling, otherwise the next time until a measure triggers will take only 1/2 as long as accounted for. This caused the 'min time' to be potentially off by as much as 100%.

Micro-benchmarking framework part 1

Cherry-picked from the following upstream PRs:

- bitcoin/bitcoin#6733
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6770
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6892
  - Excluding changes to `src/policy/policy.h` which we don't have yet.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#7934
  - Just the benchmark, not the performance improvements.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#8039
- bitcoin/bitcoin#8107
- bitcoin/bitcoin#8115
- bitcoin/bitcoin#8914
  - Required resolving several merge conflicts in code that had been refactored upstream. The changes were simple enough that I decided it was okay to impose merge conflicts on pulling in those refactors later.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9200
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9202
  - Adds support for measuring CPU cycles, which is later removed in an upstream PR after the refactor. I am including it to reduce future merge conflicts.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9281
  - Only changes to `src/bench/bench.cpp`
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9498
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9712
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9547
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9505
  - Just the benchmark, not the performance improvements.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#9792
  - Just the benchmark, not the performance improvements.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#10272
- bitcoin/bitcoin#10395
  - Only changes to `src/bench/`
- bitcoin/bitcoin#10735
  - Only changes to `src/bench/base58.cpp`
- bitcoin/bitcoin#10963
- bitcoin/bitcoin#11303
  - Only the benchmark backend change.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#11562
- bitcoin/bitcoin#11646
- bitcoin/bitcoin#11654

This pulls in all changes to the micro-benchmark framework prior to December 2017, when it was rewritten. The rewrite depends on other upstream PRs we have not pulled in yet.

This does not pull in all benchmarks prior to December 2017. It leaves out benchmarks that either test code we do not have yet (except for the `FastRandomContext` refactor, which I decided to pull in), or would require rewrites to work with our changes to the codebase.

Pull request description:

  Introduces the benchmarking framework, loosely based on google's micro-benchmarking library (https://github.com/google/benchmark), ported from Bitcoin, up to 0.16.
  The benchmark framework is hard-coded to run each benchmark for one wall-clock second,
  and then spits out .csv-format timing information to stdout.

  NOTE: Not all the tests have been pulled yet (as we might not have the code being tested, or it  would require rewrites to work with our different code base), but the framework is updated to December 2017.
