drop unused bench-create script + Makefile target

The script carried a python3 dep for one json.dumps on a VM name
that's always alphanumeric-plus-dashes anyway, it was never wired
into CI or docs, and `time banger vm create` covers the same need
ad hoc when anyone wants to measure create latency.
