perf: add a comparison test of log --grep regex engines

Add a very basic performance comparison test comparing the POSIX
basic, extended and perl engines with patterns matching log messages
via --grep=<pattern>.

See commit ("perf: add a comparison test of grep regex engines",
2017-04-19) for details on the machine the above test run was executed
on.

Before commit ("log: make --regexp-ignore-case work with
--perl-regexp", 2017-05-20) this test will almost definitely
fail (depending on the repo) if passed the -i option, since it wasn't
properly supported under PCRE.
