/**
 * The LoadExternalBlockFile() function is used during -reindex and -loadblock.
 *
 * Create a test file that's similar to a datadir/blocks/blk?????.dat file,
 * It contains around 134 copies of the same block (typical size of real block files).
 * For each block in the file, LoadExternalBlockFile() won't find its parent,
 * and so will skip the block. (In the real system, it will re-read the block
 * from disk later when it encounters its parent.)
 *
 * This benchmark measures the performance of deserializing the block (or just
 * its header, beginning with PR 16981).
