I'm creating this draft PR, since I wanted to have some early feedback, and because I though I would have time to finish it last week, but I got caught up with other stuff. Feel free to contribute :)
The main thing here is that I have divided `eval()`, `parse()` and similar functions so that they can decide if they are parsing scripts or modules. Let me know your thoughts.
Then, I was checking the import & export parsing, and I noticed we are using `TokenKind::Identifier` for `IdentifierName`, so I changed that name. An `Identifier` is an `IdentifierName` that isn't a `ReservedWord`. This means we should probably also adapt all `IdentifierReference`, `BindingIdentifier` and so on parsing. I already created an `Identifier` parser.
Something interesting there is that `await` is not a valid `Identifier` if the goal symbol is `Module`, as you can see in the [spec](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#prod-LabelIdentifier), but currently we don't have that information in the `InputElement` enumeration, we only have `Div`, `RegExp` and `TemplateTail`. How could we approach this?

For each js script in the bench_scripts folder, we create three benchmarks:
Parser => lexing and parsing of the source code
Compiler => compilation of the parsed statement list into bytecode
Execution => execution of the bytecode in the vm
The idea is to check the performance of Boa in different scenarios.
Different parts of Boa are benchmarked separately to make the impact of local changes visible.
