For the fastest systems in this benchmark, all queries run in under a second for the hot runs. This leads to a high variability between different executions on the exact same system and hardware. To alleviate this problem, this commit enhances the dashboard and associated metric scores to support an arbitrary number of repetitions instead of the fixed 3. It aligns with the fact that the execution scripts already support this through `BENCH_TRIES` (see `lib/benchmark-common.sh`). Disclaimer: This leads to better results than currently published for our system (Hyper), which we includ in this PR for the `c7a.metal-48xl` machine. We encourage other systems to do the same so we can have more stable results overall.

This commit does not change the aggregate function, i.e., it still takes the min of the repetitions.
We might consider using median for more repetitions, but I left that out of scope here.
Note: this also addresses issue #934
