bookmarks: directly use base dict 'setitem' The bmstore '__setitem__' method is setting an extra flag that is not needed during initialization. Skipping the method will allow further cleanup and yield some speedup as a side effect.

bookmarks: rely on exception for malformed lines Since we already have an exception context open, for other thing, we can simplify the code a bit and rely on exception handling for invalid lines. Speed is not the main motivation for this changes. However as I'm in the middle of benchmarking things we can see a small positive impact.

bookmarks: explicitly convert to 'node' during initialization We know the content of the file is supposed to be full hex. So we can do the translation ourselves and directly check if the node is known. As nice side effect we now have proper error handling for invalid node value.

bookmarks: prefetch 'lookup' outside of the loop Skipping the attribute lookup up raise a significant speedup. Example on a repository with about 4000 bookmarks.

perf: add a perfbookmarks command A new command dedicated to benchmark of bookmark initialization.

perfphases: add a flag to also include file access time The flag purges all phases data so we'll have to read the file from disk again.
