change name to Benchmarking.jl?

BenchmarkTools is the bomb and everyone uses it – or should! The name is a little awkward though and doesn't have quite the gravitas and officialness that it deserves. What about calling the package Benchmarking.jl so that one writes the lovely definitive sounding using Benchmarking when one uses it?

Another suggestion might be Benchmarks (Benchmarks.jl has now been deprecated for some time, which frees up the name)

"Benchmarks" sounds like a collection of benchmarks to me.

TheVeryBestOneTrueBenchmarkPackage.jl? 😛

Benchmarking.jl sounds fine to me, but not sure if it's worth the churn. What's the package renaming process like? Just rename everything here and register as a new package in METADATA?

No, just change the name here and in METADATA; it's pretty straightforward.
