Benchmark generator script

Description

This adds a benchmark generator script. See the included README for execution instructions. The current generator only produces four topics: /tf, and a list of cubes represented in three different ways. The length of each cube list is tuned to stress my MacBook Pro M1.

Few thoughts:

1. It would be nice for the script to have some comments on what it is producing - or something documenting that.
2. Personally I find it hard to read the python notebook style rather than a python script I can run that produces a file tho this is largely preference
3. Why did we stop at cubes - we have more renderable types and should see how those work as well.
4. There should be benchmark layouts that correspond to these files - it should be easy for someone to launch the benchmark serve, select a layout, and load the benchmark file.

Do you have numbers produced by running this with benchmark in a layout? Same for other types of renderables.

@defunctzombie feel free to merge this while I'm out as a starting point.

I'll take a look. I don't think I want to merge this as-is (per my comments above). I think there's something more natural to create here for our typescript workflow.

We've taken a different tactic with our benchmarks. The data for benchmarks is generated synthetically via custom players in the benchmark folder. Closing this in favor of the approach we have already deployed.
