feat(std): further bench improvements (#15856)
# Description

Following #15843, I have tinkered more with it and realized that there
are plenty of features from
[hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine) that could be
implemented pretty easily.

- `--warmup` flag to do `n` runs without benchmarking first, useful to
fill disk cache
```nu
@example "use --warmup to fill the disk cache before benchmarking" { bench { fd } { jwalk . -k } -w 1 -n 10 }
```
- `--setup`, `--prepare`, `--cleanup`, `--conclude` flags to run code
before/after benchmarks
```nu
@example "use `--setup` to compile before benchmarking" { bench { ./target/release/foo } --setup { cargo build --release } }
@example "use `--prepare` to benchmark rust compilation speed" { bench { cargo build --release } --prepare { cargo clean } }
```
- `--ignore-errors` to ignore any errors in the benchmarked commands
- benchmarked commands are now `| ignore` so that externals don't fill
the screen

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!

The standard library is a pure-nushell collection of custom commands which provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.

To see what's here:

> use std
> scope commands | select name description | where name =~ "std "
#┬───────────name────────────┬───────────────────description───────────────────
0│std assert                 │Universal assert command
1│std assert equal           │Assert $left == $right
2│std assert error           │Assert that executing the code generates an error
3│std assert greater         │Assert $left > $right
4│std assert greater or equal│Assert $left >= $right
             ...                                     ...

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts

All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment (the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu script) using the use command.

You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:

use std

std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)

Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std prefix.

use std ["log debug" assert]

log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)

This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu for interactive use.
