Benchmark

Here we compute 100000 nodes and weights of the Gauss rules. Try a million or ten million.

The paper [1] computed a billion Gauss-Legendre nodes. So here we will do a billion + 1.

julia> @btime gausslegendre(1000000001);
  23.363 s (10 allocations: 22.35 GiB)

(The nodes near the endpoints coalesce in 16-digits of precision.)
