Ping mfomitchev@, we are trying to clean up all perf benchmarks this quarter.

+aelias, dtapuska, tdresser

The benchmarks were disabled because they started failing on some bots. I couldn't figure out the failures easily, and I wasn't working on text selection anymore, so I never got back to it, and nobody took this over.

At the time I couldn't reproduce the failures locally. Based on the testing I did, it seemed like these benchmarks got stuck at the very beginning of the test, and I couldn't explain the behavior.

I have CCed some people who may be interested in keeping these benchmarks around. They were written to keep track of the text selection performance in Clank. If nobody steps up to revive them, then I guess we should move them to tools/perf/contrib directory.  

I think this is the kind of niche thing that can be worth fixing the performance of when it gives rise to user complaint, but not worth the burden of maintaining a benchmark for otherwise.  This benchmark seems like just a straightforward proxy for main thread jank on these particular websites anyway.

dtapuska@, tdresser@: are you ok with punting the benchmarks as well?

SGTM.

Thanks. I will do the work of removing this benchmark.

Remove text_selection.* benchmarks

These benchmarks have been failing everywhere. They also don't fit into
any supported harnesses, so we just remove them.
