Remove (or integrate to CI/pyperformance) Module/_decimal/tests

[skirpichev]

This is a follow-up of #115119.

The bench.py script already partially integrated to the pyperformance, see python/pyperformance#473.

The Modules/_decimal/tests/deccheck.py currently is broken. Even with the patch

Probably these tests now are partially overlap with the CI tests. I think we should investigate this and merge tests or just run deccheck.py as part of CPython test suite.

I think we should just remove the benchmark and fix tests (i.e. hash issue).

It's not practical to run this in CI, it overlaps with the regular test_decimal, but perhaps it's good to have this alive as more extensive test suite, checking both (C and pure-Python) implementations. I don't think this will be broken often, based on prior experience: for 10+ years there is only two issues (see description).
