Add performance tests (#113) Adds the performance_tests/ directory. In the future we could use our own fake client software instead of rust-mc-bot. This would make it easier to run the tests.

# Performance Tests
Run the server
```shell
cargo r -r -p players
```
In a separate terminal, start [rust-mc-bot](https://github.com/Eoghanmc22/rust-mc-bot).
This command should connect 1000 clients to the server.
```shell
Redesign packet processing and improve `Client` update procedure. (#146) Closes #82 Closes #43 Closes #64 # Changes and Improvements - Packet encoding/decoding happens within `Client` instead of being sent over a channel first. This is better for performance and lays the groundwork for #83. - Reduce the amount of copying necessary by leveraging the `bytes` crate and recent changes to `EncodePacket`. Performance is noticeably improved with maximum players in the `rust-mc-bot` test going from 750 to 1050. - Packet encoding/decoding code is decoupled from IO. This is easier to understand and more suitable for a future protocol lib. - Precise control over the number of bytes that are buffered for sending/receiving. This is important for limiting maximum memory usage correctly. - "packet controllers" are introduced, which are convenient structures for managing packet IO before and during the play state. - `byte_channel` module is created to help implement the `PlayPacketController`. This is essentially a channel of bytes implemented with an `Arc<Mutex<BytesMut>>`. - Error handling in the update procedure for clients was improved using `anyhow::Result<()>` to exit as early as possible. The `client` module is a bit cleaner as a result. - The `LoginPlay` packet is always sent before all other play packets. We no longer have to worry about the behavior of packets sent before that packet. Most packet deferring performed currently can be eliminated. - The packet_inspector was rewritten in response to the above changes. - Timeouts on IO operations behave better. # Known Issues - The packet_inspector now re-encodes packets rather than just decoding them. This will cause problems when trying to use it with the vanilla server because there are missing clientbound packets and other issues. This will be fixed when the protocol module is moved to a separate crate.

```
If the delta time is consistently >50ms, the server is running behind schedule.

run the server like this:

Run rust-mc-bot as above, and then stop the server after a few seconds. Flamegraph will generate a flamegraph.svg in the
current directory. You can then open that file in your internet browser of choice.
