Proposal: benchmark project

[caelunshun]

In order to back up our performance claims, we should provide some benchmarks comparing Feather to other implementations. Ideally, these should be based on real-world use cases, with bots performing actual interactions with the world.

Ideally, whatever common library we use to handle bot interaction with the server could also be repurposed for use as an integration testing framework.

These benchmarks should live in another repository and act as a generic benchmark for a multitude of server implementations. I'd like to compare the following software:

• Feather
• Vanilla
• CraftBukkit
• Spigot
• Paper
• Glowstone
• Cuberite
• Basin

I have started an attempt at "solving" this issue by creating a utility for this. The utility is still work in progress, but if anyone is interested the code, then it can be found here.
