gh-125985: Add free threading scaling micro benchmarks (#125986)
These consist of a number of short snippets that help identify scaling
bottlenecks in the free threaded interpreter.

The current bottlenecks are in calling functions in benchmarks that call
functions (due to `LOAD_ATTR` not yet using deferred reference counting)
and when accessing thread-local data.

# This script runs a set of small benchmarks to help identify scaling
# bottlenecks in the free-threaded interpreter. The benchmarks consist
# of patterns that ought to scale well, but haven't in the past. This is
# typically due to reference count contention or lock contention.
#
# This is not intended to be a general multithreading benchmark suite, nor
# are the benchmarks intended to be representative of real-world workloads.
#
# On Linux, to avoid confounding hardware effects, the script attempts to:
# * Use a single CPU socket (to avoid NUMA effects)
# * Use distinct physical cores (to avoid hyperthreading/SMT effects)
# * Use "performance" cores (Intel, ARM) on CPUs that have performance and
# efficiency cores
#
# It also helps to disable dynamic frequency scaling (i.e., "Turbo Boost")
#
# Intel:
# > echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
#
# AMD:
# > echo "0" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost
