perf bench: Add event synthesis benchmark

Event synthesis may occur at the start or end (tail) of a perf command.
In system-wide mode it can scan every process in /proc, which may add
seconds of latency before event recording. Add a new benchmark that
times how long event synthesis takes with and without data synthesis.

An example execution looks like:

 $ perf bench internals synthesize
 # Running 'internals/synthesize' benchmark:
 Average synthesis took: 168.253800 usec
 Average data synthesis took: 208.104700 usec
