Comparison between parser combinators and manual parsing

Comparison between manual parsing and parser combinators.

This is the code that accompanies Swift Talk Episode 170: Parsing with Mutating Methods. I added a parser combinators implementation based on the Point-Free series.

File ParseCSVTests has testPerformance() which you can run with parseAlt() (fastest), parseCSV() (refactored for readability), and parseWithCombinators() which is 9 times slower than parseAlt().
