Stored undo step data for position changes in sculpt mode are now
automatically compressed. Compression is run in background threads,
reducing memory consumption during sculpting sessions while adding
little performance overhead.
For testing and benchmarks, memory usage is now available through
`bpy.app.undo_memory_info()`. Undo memory usage is now tracked by the
existing automated benchmark tests. Some changes to the web benchmark
visualization present the data a bit better.
ZSTD compression is run asynchronously in a backround task pool.
Compression is only blocking if the data is requested immediately for
undo/redo.

The general graphing mechanism will create one graph for each output
variable. So it's not limited to time and memory, but that is what the
Cycles tests now output.
These are scripts for benchmarking Blender features on real-world .blend
files. They were originally written for benchmarking Cycles performance, and
were made generic so they can be used for more Blender features.
The benchmarks can be run locally by developers. But the plan is to also run
these as part of continuous integration to track performance over time.
Currently there are tests for Cycles rendering and .blend file loading.

Main features:
* User created configurations to quickly run, re-run and analyze a selected
subset of tests.
* Supports both benchmarking with existing builds, and automatic building of
specified git commits, tags and branches.
* Generate HTML page with bar and line graphs from test results.
* Controlled using simple command line tool.
* For writing tests, convenient abstraction to run a Python function in Blender
with arguments and return value.
