This PR removes pandas execution benchmarks, whose performance has gotten much
worse after the-epic-split merge.

IMO, there are good reasons to avoid benchmarking backend execution in Ibis,
the main one being that execution is not a part of Ibis that we can control.

That isn't true of the Pandas backend, but since the DuckDB backend can now do
everything the pandas backend could do after merging the-epic-split
--including asof_join--we are not going to spend any time improving the
performance of the pandas backend,

I would actually vote to remove all execution tests here, and keep only the
ones that benchmark expression compilation and construction.
