While working on JDK-8252990, I realized there are no microbenchmarks for Fences. I would be good to add some. While technically we can benchmark `Unsafe` directly, I instead chose to use the public API, `VarHandles`, as this captures the real-world uses too.

Sample output for `make test TEST=micro:vm.fences` on `x86_64`:
