chore: switch to new test/bench suite (#12590)
This PR sets up the new integrated test/bench suite. It then migrates
all benchmarks and some related tests to the new suite. There's also
some documentation and some linting.

For now, a lot of the old tests are left alone so this PR doesn't become
even larger than it already is. Eventually, all tests should be migrated
to the new suite though so there isn't a confusing mix of two systems.

error: Tactic `cases` failed: major premise type is not an inductive type
Prop
Explanation: the `cases` tactic is for constructor-based reasoning as well as for applying custom cases principles with a 'using' clause or a registered '@[cases_eliminator]' theorem. The above type neither is an inductive type nor has a registered theorem.
Consider using the 'by_cases' tactic, which does true/false reasoning for propositions.

Type
Explanation: the `cases` tactic is for constructor-based reasoning as well as for applying custom cases principles with a 'using' clause or a registered '@[cases_eliminator]' theorem. The above type neither is an inductive type nor has a registered theorem.
Type universes are not inductive types, and type-constructor-based reasoning is not possible. This is a strong limitation. According to Lean's underlying theory, the only provable distinguishing feature of types is their cardinalities.
