perf: run the gc before each run
The python garbage collector is a large source of performance troubles, we run
it right before the timed section to reduce the change for the gc to add noise
to the benchmark.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
