benchtests: Use argparse to parse arguments
Make the script more usable by adding proper command line options along with a way to query the options. The script is capable of doing a bunch of things right now like choosing a base for comparison, choosing to generate graphs, etc. and they should be accessible via command line switches. * benchtests/scripts/compare_strings.py: Use argparse. * benchtests/README: Document existence of compare_strings.py.

+Reading String Benchmark Results:
+================================
+
+Some of the string benchmark results are now in JSON to make it easier to read
+in scripts. Use the benchtests/compare_strings.py script to show the results
+in a tabular format, generate graphs and more. Run
+
+ benchtests/scripts/compare_strings.py -h

+for usage information.
