benchmark: replace table in docs with description of file tree structure
The markdown table in `benchmark/README.md` has grown stale, no longer providing an overview over all existing benchmarks. As it has proven difficult to keep an exhaustive listing of available benchmarks up to date, this commit provides a description of how the directory is structured instead.

+## File tree structure
+
+### Directories
+
+Benchmarks testing the performance of a single node submodule are placed into a
+directory with the corresponding name, so that they can be executed by submodule
+or individually.
+Benchmarks that span multiple submodules may either be placed into the `misc`
+directory or into a directory named after the feature they benchmark.
+E.g. benchmarks for various new ECMAScript features and their pre-ES2015
+counterparts are placed in a directory named `es`.
+Fixtures that are not specific to a certain benchmark but can be reused
+throughout the benchmark suite should be placed in the `fixtures` directory.
