Add a multi-threaded version of the internals synthesize benchmark. It
attempts to compute a time per event synthesized, but as it is reading
/proc there are issues:
 - permissions if not run as root
 - "random" nature of /proc
 
By default the benchmark is disabled but can be enabled with a
flag. It has been useful in gauging the value of multi-threaded
improvements not included here as their value appears minimal.

The patch set includes 2 patches that improve synthesis performance
and updates the benchmark numbers:

v4 added a missing test file
v3 improved documenation, return values and added testing to the io framework
   following feedback from namhyung@kernel.org.
v2 addressed single threaded synthesize benchmark issues from jolsa@redhat.com
