benchmark: make output RFC 4180 compliant

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/tniessen/benchmark-make-output-rfc-4180-compliant into master

I had trouble importing the generated CSV into other software because it doesn't conform to RFC 4180, the de facto standard for CSV.

Relevant information from the RFC:

Spaces are considered part of a field and should not be ignored. [...] If fields are not enclosed with double quotes, then double quotes may not appear inside the fields.

Since spaces are considered part of a field, we end up with fields of the form ' "foo"' (note the space in front of the quoted value), and now the quote isn't the first character within the field, so it violates the RFC.
