Summary:
This is the start of some JMH microbenchmarks for RocksJava.
Such benchmarks can help us decide on performance improvements of the Java API.
At the moment, I have only added benchmarks for various Comparator options, as that is one of the first areas where I want to improve performance. I plan to expand this to many more tests.
Details of how to compile and run the benchmarks are in the `README.md`.
A run of these on a XEON 3.5 GHz 4vCPU (QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+) / 8GB RAM KVM with Ubuntu 18.04, OpenJDK 1.8.0_232, and gcc 8.3.0 produced the following:
```
# Run complete. Total time: 01:43:17
REMEMBER: The numbers below are just data. To gain reusable insights, you need to follow up on
why the numbers are the way they are. Use profilers (see -prof, -lprof), design factorial
experiments, perform baseline and negative tests that provide experimental control, make sure
the benchmarking environment is safe on JVM/OS/HW level, ask for reviews from the domain experts.
Do not assume the numbers tell you what you want them to tell.

```
Indicating a ~7x difference between comparators implemented natively (C++) and those implemented in Java. Let's see if we can't improve on that in the near future...
