CLN: do not use .repeat asv setting for storing benchmark data
State: closed

`asv` uses `.repeat` to specify the number of times a benchmark should be repeated; our `strings.Replace` benchmark inadvertently uses this to store benchmark data. This doesn't cause issues until after the first parameter:
```
