test-compress-benchmark: limit default runtime to 2 seconds per subtest
If both lz4 and xz are enabled, this results in a limit of 2×3×2 s ~= 12 s runtime. Previous implementation started with really small buffer sizes. When combined with a short time limit this resulteded in abysmal results for xz. It seems that the initialization overead is really significant for small buffers. Since xz will not be used by default anymore, this does not seem worth fixing. Instead buffer sizes are changed to run a pseudo-random non-repeating pattern. This should allow reasonable testing for all buffer sizes. For testing, both runtime and the buffer size seed can be specified on the command line. Sufficiently large runtime allows all buffer sizes up to 1MB to be tested.
