[Speed] standalone PyPy benchmarks ported

[Brett Cannon]

Quick question about the hexiom2 benchmark: what does it measure? It is by
far the slowest benchmark I ported, and considering it isn't a real-world
app benchmark I want to make sure the slowness of it is worth it. Otherwise
I would rather drop it since having something run 1/25 as many iterations
compared to the other simple benchmarks seems to water down its robustness.
