I really appreciate the efforts, and I'd love to run the perf tests with
Meson, but at the moment I don't know how these changes are useful
because this doesn't print anything relevant:

    $ meson test -C build --benchmark 'p0005-*'

Yeah, this is unfortunate, but totally understandable. I've been digging
in `t/perf/run` and `f/perf/aggregate.perl` and it doesn't look easy to
adapt to Meson.

But I was wondering, instead of trying to fully integrate Meson into
those scripts, could we modify the scripts so they work with binaries
built by Meson? I mean, if we could run
`cd t/perf && ./run ../../build1 ../../build2 p0005*` and it would
simply run the benchmarks in those directories (without trying to check
out code and build the sources). I think this would help a lot already.
