Benchmark: Nullish coalescing (??) vs logical OR (||)

Tests:

Nullish coalescing (??)
let x = null ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? 1;
Logical OR (||)
let x = null || undefined || null || undefined || null || undefined || null || undefined || null || undefined || 1;
Nullish coalescing (??) [short-circuit]
let x = 1 ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? null ?? undefined ?? 1;
Logical OR (||) [short-circuit]
let x = 1 || undefined || null || undefined || null || undefined || null || undefined || null || undefined || 1;
