Benchmarking overhaul and pin Flake8 <6

[trexfeathers]

A detailed restructure of the benchmarking architecture in line with what has already been done on SciTools/iris. The original architecture included several experiments which we have since iterated and improved within Iris.

Closes #210.

Good work! Just one comment about the license header in one file.

Flake8 failure seems possibly related to PyCQA/flake8#1739, but I have not yet worked out what in our config is causing the problem.

Happens even without any config at all in .flake8, so I reckon somethings wrong. I'll pin it

Should be fixed once PyCQA/flake8-import-order#190 is in a release.

Looks good, I guess we can ignore the greetings failure for the time being as that seems to be a seperable issue.
