SurrealDb vs RocksDb

[andrussal]

Set of benchmarks to compare SurrealDb and RocksDb performance. Each test inserts specified number of blocks to database and then runs queries.

RocksDb benches:

1. Get all blocks
2. Get blocks by following parent pointers

SurrealDb benches

1. Get all blocks
2. Get blocks by following parent pointers(without graph edges)
3. Get blocks by following parent pointers following graph edges
