DecodeHexBenchmark is too branch-predictor friendly (#9942)

Browse Source 
Motivation:

DecodeHexBenchmark needs to be less branch-predictor friendly
to mimic the "real" behaviour while decoding

Modifications:

DecodeHexBenchmark uses a larger sets of inputs, picking them at
random on each iteration and the benchmarked method is made !inlineable

Result:

DecodeHexBenchmark is more trusty while showing the performance
difference between different decoding methods
