Update benchmarks used to measure subcompaction performance

Summary: After closely working with Mark, Siying, and Yueh-Hsuan this set of changes reflects the updates needed to measure RocksDB subcompaction performance in a correct manner. The essence of the benchmark is executing `fillrandom` followed by `compact` with the correct set of options for various number of subcompactions specified.

Test Plan: Tested internally to verify correctness and reliability.
