babl: add a test iteration multiplier

On my system many of the conversions got measured to costs of 3 4 and 5, these
makes a big room for measurement errors, to increase reliability the tests are
now run 4 times - making it a ranking of contenders with fewer collisions.

This will slightly increase incurred delayed on search for conversions.
