Benchmark: PG Wire Protocol vs Direct Python API

Tests:
  1. Direct Python API (apexbase.ApexClient)
  2. PG Wire Simple Query (psycopg2)
  3. PG Wire Extended Query with params (psycopg2)

Queries benchmarked:
  - COUNT(*) — simple agg, tiny result
  - SELECT * LIMIT 100 — small result
  - SELECT * LIMIT 10000 — medium result
  - String filter (WHERE name = ...)
  - BETWEEN filter
  - GROUP BY (10 groups)
  - Aggregation (SUM/AVG/MIN/MAX)
  - Point lookup (WHERE _id = N)
