perf: use the new setup function in "perfbookmarks"

This command was picked arbitrarily to display the usefulness of the new
feature. In my Mercurial repository (with very few bookmarks), moving cache
cleanup in the dedicated setup function has a visible  and stable effect on
the benchmark number.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
