Support built-in bench marker for Load Testing

[nakabonne]

What would you like to be added: It could be thought tough to perform adequate load testing with the current analysis by HTTP provider alone.

HTTP:

• https://github.com/rakyll/hey
• https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta

gRPC:

• https://github.com/bojand/ghz

• https://github.com/lotusload/lotus

Why is this needed:

Basic command-line tools such as hey and vegeta can perform load testing simply, while lack of scripting means they’re unable to simulate anything remotely resembling real traffic onto a site, app or API and they often produce fixed and limited statistics.

We'd like to avoid to make a feature which isn't used in production use. I'm considering supporting a load generator tool that is scriptable in a popular, high-level language. The candidates are:

• https://github.com/loadimpact/k6 (looks great)
• https://github.com/locustio/locust (has a very nice Python scripting API, but fails in the performance department)
