Live Template to Write Benchmark Functions

Write benchmarks quicker thanks to the builtin bench live template.

Place the cursor at the file level in a _test.go file and start typing func. Select the Benchmark option from the suggested list and then complete this by writing the test name you desire.

Pro tip: You can invoke the Completion feature, ⌃␣ (macOS) / Ctrl+Space (Windows/Linux), to create benchmarks for methods too, not just functions.
