Add performance tests for commonly used file-based I/O PTransforms

Details

    Description

      We recently added a performance testing framework [1] that can be used to do following.
      (1) Execute Beam tests using PerfkitBenchmarker
      (2) Manage Kubernetes-based deployments of data stores.
      (3) Easily publish benchmark results.

      I think it will be useful to add performance tests for commonly used file-based I/O PTransforms using this framework. I suggest looking into following formats initially.
      (1) AvroIO
      (2) TextIO
      (3) Compressed text using TextIO
      (4) TFRecordIO

      It should be possibly to run these tests for various Beam runners (Direct, Dataflow, Flink, Spark, etc.) and file-systems (GCS, local, HDFS, etc.) easily.

      In the initial version, tests can be made manually triggerable for PRs through Jenkins. Later, we could make some of these tests run periodically and publish benchmark results (to BigQuery) through PerfkitBenchmarker.
