[Feature] Establish a generalized benchmark suite

[lasch]

Feature Description

#193 introduced an initial benchmark to get data points for indirect access code paths.
Together with @fabianlim the idea for a more general concept to do benchmarks.

Motivation / Problem

• useful for regression testing, knowing whether new code slows down the processing
• useful to proof/disproof claims about performance in new code

There are multiple work items sleeping inside. Aspects like:

• adding to CI
• searching for reusable existing options
• designing the solution
• implement and validate the solution
• determine thresholds for CI gates
• optional regression tests that compare to previous results
• etc...
