There are now three vendor directories. The goal is to have test- and
benchmark-specific stuff is its own directories and not in the main one.
vendor
test/vendor
benchmark/vendor
The source code is now in the src directory. The library needs to be
built using "rake", which creates the lib/peg.js file by combining the
source files.
We do this for two reasons:
1. To avoid bowser mechanism for interrupting long-running scripts to
kick-in (or at least to not kick-in that often).
2. To ensure progressive rendering of results in the browser (some
browsers do not render at all when running JavaScript code).
This does not change the benchmark suite execution speed statistically
significantly on V8.

This and also speeds up the benchmark suite execution by 7.83 % on V8.
