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).
I'm interested in exploring this test_size mechanism. The other area that could benefit from size testing is 'git repack', but I don't have any plans to change our compression or delta strategies. If we _did_ look into that, then using test_size would be a natural fit.
Overall, I really like this series! Thanks -Stolee
