Helper utilities for ensuring that musli is safe to use and behaves as expected.

This does include a fairly sophisticated benchmarking suite.

<br>

## Benchmarking

Now this includes the `extra` category, which requires `model_minimal`. This
is not exactly a fair comparison, because it compares serialization formats
which were designed to model data that others are not capable off.

The exact tradeoff can be seen by comparing the feature `model_full` with
`model_minimal`.

```sh
cargo bench --no-default-features --features musli,full,extra,model_minimal,simdutf8
```

To run benchmarks for serialization suites which *do* support all features, do:

```sh
cargo bench --features full
```

<br>

## Fuzz testing

This comes with the `fuzz` binary which can do the following things.

Run serialization for a long time against a lot of random data. Both with
and without miri. When run with miri, the size of the datasets is
drastically reduced.

```sh
cargo run --bin fuzz
cargo +nightly miri run --bin fuzz
```

Run deserialization against randomly generated bytes. Both with and without
miri. When run with miri, the size of the datasets is drastically reduced.

```sh
cargo run --bin fuzz -- --random
cargo +nightly miri run --bin fuzz -- --random
```

> **Note** you can add the running of optional crates by enabling its
> corresponding feature, such as `--features bincode`.

## Potential security issues discovered by this crate

* `dlhn`: Allocating and initializing large arrays based on untrusted input
  (DoS): [dlhn#11](https://github.com/otake84/dlhn/issues/11).

<br>

## Size comparison

To perform a one-off size comparison:

```sh
cargo run --bin fuzz -- --size
```

This will *for now* just take the first generated field of a given type,
serialize it, and print out its size. In the future it will perform an
average over the entire set with more statistics.
