Introduce Coefficient of variation aggregate (#1220)
* Introduce Coefficient of variation aggregate

I believe, it is much more useful / use to understand,
because it is already normalized by the mean,
so it is not affected by the duration of the benchmark,
unlike the standard deviation.

Example of real-world output:
```
