[CFE] Additions to benchmarker.dart et al

## Added --cache to benchmarker.dart

This doubles the amount of runs by running an additional round of `perf
stat` runs outputting low level cache information: L1-icache-load-misses
(instruction load misses), LLC-loads (last level cache loads, i.e.
probably how many loads goes to L3 cache) and LLC-load-misses (last
level cache load misses, i.e. how many loads goes to ram). I don't know
if these are generally available, only that they are available on my
machine.

## Added --silent to benchmarker.dart

Some benchmarks output information to stdout which is great when running
it by hand, but when running it via the benchmarker script it just
pollutes the output: The benchmarker script et al measures what is
supposed to be measured. This CL adds the `--silent` option to the
benchmarker script which then won't print the stdout output from the
benchmarkee.

## Output filename in benchmarker.dart

This CL adds the filenames of the benchmarked snapshots in an attempt to
avoid confusion. Example output before:

```
Comparing snapshot #1 with snapshot #2
```

```
Example output now:
Comparing snapshot #1 (optimization_attempt_41.aot) with snapshot #2 (optimization_attempt_42.aot)
```

## Utility to summarize --verbose-gc output

Takes input from --verbose-gc from stdin and summarizes the time taken
on GC and reports it back. Example:

```
$ out/ReleaseX64/dart --verbose-gc hello.dart 2> /dev/stdout 1> /dev/null | out/ReleaseX64/dart pkg/front_end/tool/verbose_gc_helper.dart
6.1
```

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
