testing: add -test.count flag to run tests and benchmarks multiple times

The flag is available from the go test command as -count:

% go test -run XXX -bench . -count 3
PASS
BenchmarkSprintfEmpty      	30000000	        54.0 ns/op
BenchmarkSprintfEmpty      	30000000	        51.9 ns/op

BenchmarkSprintfInt        	10000000	       225 ns/op

If -cpu is set, each test is run n times for each cpu value.
