benchtests: Enable BENCHSET to run subset of tests

This patch adds BENCHSET variable to benchtests/Makefile in order to
provide the capability to run a list of subsets of benchmark tests, ie;

    make bench BENCHSET="bench-pthread bench-math malloc-thread"

This helps users to benchmark specific glibc area

ChangeLog:

        * benchtests/Makefile:Add BENCHSET to allow subsets of
        benchmarks to be run.
        * benchtests/README: Add documentation for: Running subsets of
        benchmarks.

+Running subsets of benchmarks:
+==============================
+
+To run only a subset of benchmarks, one may invoke make as follows
+
+  $ make bench BENCHSET="bench-pthread bench-math malloc-thread"
+
+where BENCHSET may be a space-separated list of the following values:
+
+    bench-math
+    bench-pthread
+    bench-string
+    string-benchset
+    wcsmbs-benchset
+    stdlib-benchset
+    stdio-common-benchset
