a54ab2104c82c41d17ca603999a9a03161eefc9e [doc] fix Makefile target in benchmarking.md (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  While the resulting binary is called `bench_bitcoin`, the Makefile target is
  named `bitcoin_bench` (see `src/Makefile.bench.include`)

    ACK a54ab2104c82c41d17ca603999a9a03161eefc9e - Tested on macOS and Debian 9.9, as this only [seemed to work there](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16536#discussion_r310366868) when these docs were added.

Benchmarking
============
Dash Core has an internal benchmarking framework, with benchmarks
for cryptographic algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, RIPEMD160, Poly1305, ChaCha20), rolling bloom filter, coins selection,
thread queue, wallet balance.
Running
---------------------
For benchmarks purposes you only need to compile `dash_bench`. Beware of configuring without `--enable-debug` as this would impact
benchmarking by unlatching log printers and lock analysis.
make -C src dash_bench
After compiling Dash Core, the benchmarks can be run with:
src/bench/bench_dash
The output will look similar to:
```
| ns/byte | byte/s | error % | benchmark
|--------------------:|--------------------:|--------:|:----------------------------------------------
| 64.13 | 15,592,356.01 | 0.1% | `Base58CheckEncode`
| 24.56 | 40,722,672.68 | 0.2% | `Base58Decode`
...
```
Help
---------------------
src/bench/bench_dash --help
To print options like scaling factor or per-benchmark filter.
Notes
---------------------
More benchmarks are needed for, in no particular order:
- Script Validation
- Coins database
- Memory pool
- Cuckoo Cache
- P2P throughput
