[issue17785] Use faster URL shortener for perf.py

[Alexandre Vassalotti]

New submission from Alexandre Vassalotti:

As noted previously, TinyURL URL shortening API is rather slow and not always available. Each requests takes between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds.

We should change it to use Google URL Shortener which returns a response within 10 milliseconds and is much more available.
