Create configuration conditional bench

As we did in rust-bitcoin [0] create a configuration conditional `bench`
that we can use to guard bench mark code. This has the benefit of
making our features additive i.e., we can now test with `--all-features`
with a stable toolchain (currently this fails because of our use of the
`test` crate).
