Proposed changes to JSON output

• smaller (~1.4MB vs. ~550k uncompressed)
  • Live example of current old-style format
  • Proposed JSON, average plus test_runs
  • Proposed JSON, average only
  • Proposed JSON, test runs only
• can be dropped straight into Flot
• load mean avg/delta first, load exploded (test_runs) on demand
  • need to measure size savings to make sure it's worth it
• need time delta / time delta %
• should use a new URL for this so we don't have to change old interface
