added becnhmark workflow on PR

[bhautikpip]

1. Added benchmark workflow which runs on every PR (idea is to get performance numbers on every released version upstream)

I don't think we have any code to benchmark - shouldn't these go upstream?

/cc @srprash added the Java ones upstream

Yes I agree but the current benchmark code we have in this repository is only benchmarking aws specific components. We can definitely have the benchmark upstream but that would require a wide variety of benchmarks as per my understanding (needs more work). This PR is just an enhancement to what we have. Hence I thought of running the benchmark as workflow so at least we get an idea of the performance of released version and if next version needs improvement or not whenever we update sample app version to match the latest upstream version.

We should try to add these benchmarks upstream - any benchmark is better than no benchmark, they shouldn't resist that just because it doesn't benchmark every type of component. If there's a problem there, we can consider adding the benchmarks here but I wouldn't expect any issues.

Do you think we should merge this PR or just close this? This PR is just a workflow for already existing benchmarks in this repository. Until we move all the benchmarks exist in this repository to upstream I think merging this PR wouldn't hurt. However I am also fine with closing this out.

That's a good point, let's add this workflow but not forget to move the benchmarks upstream.
