> Please review this change to add some System GC JMH benchmarks.
> 
> **Summary**
> When developing and improving the Full GC implementation for the different GCs, using `System.gc()` to test performance is sometime very useful. This change adds a set of System GC benchmarks using JMH. The tests all have the same structure, a `@Setup` function that generates heap contents and a `@Benchmark` function which only calls `System.gc()`. The different scenarios covers some basic use-cases but more can certainly be added going forward. 
> 
> Since the benchmark function is just a single call to trigger the GC it makes sense to use the single shot JMH mode and fork a new JVM for each run. The tests also specify default heap options to avoid triggering GC during object creation to give all runs more or less the same heap layout.
> 
> **Testing**
> Local and aurora testing verifying that results are fairly stable.
