>> 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.
