Merge #473: Create configuration conditional "bench"

a431edb Create configuration conditional bench (Tobin C. Harding)
2a1c9ab Remove rand-std feature from unstable (Tobin C. Harding)
ddc108c Increase heading size (Tobin C. Harding)
596adff Remove unneeded whitespace (Tobin C. Harding)

Pull request description:

  As we did in rust-bitcoin [0] create a configuration conditional `bench`
  that we can use to guard bench mark code. This has the benefit of
  making our features additive i.e., we can now test with `--all-features`
  with a stable toolchain (currently this fails because of our use of the
  `test` crate).

  Please note, this patch maintains the current behaviour of turning on
  the `recovery` and `rand-std` features when benching although I was
  unable to ascertain why this is needed.
