testing: hoisted chunks of code to prepare for Run method

testing.go:
- run method will evolve into the Run method.
- added level field in common

benchmark.go:
- benchContext will be central to distinguish handling of benchmarks
  between normal Run methods and ones called from within Benchmark
  function.
- expandCPU will evolve into the processing hook for Run methods
  called within normal processing.
- runBench will evolve into the Run method.
