The main objective of scripts in the perf framework is to
run "test_perf", which measures the time it takes to run
some operation. However, it can also be interesting to see
the change in the output size of certain operations.
This patch introduces test_size, which records a single
numeric output from the test and shows it in the aggregated
output (with pretty printing and relative size comparison).

While we have tried to make sure that it can cope with embedded
whitespace and other special characters, it will not work with
multi-line data.
+
+Rather than tracking the performance by run-time as `test_perf` does, you
+may also track output size by using `test_size`. The stdout of the
+function should be a single numeric value, which will be captured and
+shown in the aggregated output. For example:
+
+ test_perf 'time foo' '
+ ./foo >foo.out
+ '
+
+ test_size 'output size'
+ wc -c <foo.out
+ '
+
+might produce output like:
+
+ Test origin HEAD
+ -------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1234.1 time foo 0.37(0.79+0.02) 0.26(0.51+0.02) -29.7%
+ 1234.2 output size 4.3M 3.6M -14.7%
+
+The item being measured (and its units) is up to the test; the context
+and the test title should make it clear to the user whether bigger or
+smaller numbers are better. Unlike test_perf, the test code will only be
+run once, since output sizes tend to be more deterministic than timings.
