Add a memory-hungry benchmark

2

I think that currently, we don't have any memory-hungy benchmark. It might be interesting to add one.

It would be nice to have a security-related benchmark, not focused on memory consumption or speed, but on the ability of allocators to detect and neuter memory corruptions. For example,...

Add rocksdb to the benchmarks

[rocksdb]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RocksDB) has a [neat benchmarking tool]( https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Benchmarking-tools ), and it written with hardware-efficiency in mind, so it should highlight some allocators shortcoming. Moreover, it's buildable with a makefile, so...

Some allocators are doing tradeoffs to perform very well on long-running complex workloads, so we should have some benchmarks to measure this. Maybe something like firefox running on a couple...
