Benchmarking

[IanButterworth]

I just added a benchmark script at https://github.com/JuliaIO/PNG.jl/blob/master/benchmarking/benchmark.jl

Looks like QuartzImageIO >> PNG > ImageMagick overall, but PNG is fastest to load

All of this is before @Drvi's IanButterworth/ImageIODevelopment.jl#3 which looks like it will improve things 👍🏻

As expected, we now win with #2 merged

Wondering if ImageMagick and PNGFiles numbers are improving after Zlib_jll got -O3 flag in JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#1051.
