benchmark: replace table in docs with description of file tree structure
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
The markdown table in `benchmark/README.md` has grown stale, no
longer providing an overview over all existing benchmarks. As it has
proven difficult to keep an exhaustive listing of available benchmarks
up to date, this commit provides a description of how the directory is
structured instead.

## File tree structure

### Directories

Benchmarks testing the performance of a single node submodule are placed into a
directory with the corresponding name, so that they can be executed by submodule
or individually.
Benchmarks that span multiple submodules may either be placed into the `misc`
directory or into a directory named after the feature they benchmark.
E.g. benchmarks for various new ECMAScript features and their pre-ES2015
counterparts are placed in a directory named `es`.
Fixtures that are not specific to a certain benchmark but can be reused
throughout the benchmark suite should be placed in the `fixtures` directory.
