Debug tool for benchmarking proof-of-work algorithms (#155)
* cmd/anubis: add a debug option for benchmarking hashrate

Having the ability to benchmark different proof-of-work implementations
is useful for extending Anubis. This adds a flag `--debug-benchmark-js`
(and its associated environment variable `DEBUG_BENCHMARK_JS`) for
serving a tool to do so.

Internally, a there is a new policy action, "DEBUG_BENCHMARK", which
serves the benchmarking tool instead of a challenge. The flag then
replaces all bot rules with a special rule matching every request
to that action. The benchmark page makes heavy use of inline styles,
because currently all global styles are shared across all pages. This
could be fixed, but I wanted to avoid major changes to the templates.

* web/js: add signal for aborting an active proof-of-work algorithm

Both proof-of-work algorithms now take an optional `AbortSignal`, which
immediately terminates all workers and returns `false` if aborted before
the challenge is complete.

* web/js: add algorithm comparison to the benchmark page

"Compare:" is added to the benchmark page for testing the relative
performance between two algorithms. Since benchmark runs generally have
high variance, it may take a while for the averages to converge on a
stable difference.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

$ yarn

Local Development

$ yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

$ yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

$ USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

$ GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
