ctests-costs-benefits: add a "benefit" row
The "benefit" row gives the amount of days in-between when an issue
is found because of the ctests and when an issue is reported by
someone not using the ctests. In the example of the ps2pdf flag, the
issue was reported just a couple of weeks after we found it with the
ctests, indicating that the ctests were not that helpful in this
case.

they were actually "false positives" (i.e., no bug that is worth the time or

for users to realize that "-dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY" is needed for the
