John Meinel has observed that importing the ConfigObj validator was
taking a significant portion of startup time.  Since the validator is an
optional component, and we're not using it, this patch deletes it.

It also adds a benchmark for startup time.  According to the benchmark,
this cuts our startup time from 107 ms to 47 ms.
