benchtests: Use argparse to parse arguments
Make the script more usable by adding proper command line options
along with a way to query the options.  The script is capable of doing
a bunch of things right now like choosing a base for comparison,
choosing to generate graphs, etc. and they should be accessible via
command line switches.

	* benchtests/scripts/compare_strings.py: Use argparse.
	* benchtests/README: Document existence of compare_strings.py.

+Reading String Benchmark Results:
+================================
+
+Some of the string benchmark results are now in JSON to make it easier to read
+in scripts.  Use the benchtests/compare_strings.py script to show the results
+in a tabular format, generate graphs and more. Run
+
+    benchtests/scripts/compare_strings.py -h
+
+for usage information.
