[cc65] Some 2.13 Benchmarks

Here are the results of a few tests:

                        Apple //e
          --------------------------------------
          INT    FP     MAF    Aztec  cc65  cc65
Benchmark  BASIC  BASIC  Forth  C 3.2  2.12  2.13
=========  =====  =====  =====  =====  ====  ====
pi (atan)  ~40hr          1496   2180  1764  1514
e (euler)                         670   559   501

Savage       N/A    470    N/A   2664   N/A   N/A

NOTE:

1.  All times reported in seconds unless otherwise noted.
2.  N/A = Not Applicable.  Environment does not natively support this benchmark.

Observations:

1.  The poor FP performance with Aztec C may be due to higher precision.
2.  2.13 is measurably faster than 2.12.
3.  NQ struct/goto with 2.13 perform the same.  Optimization improvements.
