Summary: Added some performance tests for DataSource. Currently simply using jest to run them in a single run, so that is not the most isolated setup (we do GC between tests), but helps to find some global trends at least. For every scenario two datasets are used, one of 100.000 items, and one of 200.000 items, to verify that all important functions scale roughly linearly or better. The `append` and `update` test cases perform 1000 insertions / updates. All other tests are singular. The keyed vs unkeyed variation verifies that we don't drop performance if we maintain a by-key lookup table. The sorted variations start with an initially already sorted and filtered setup. This nicely show that the datasource really starts to shine with its insertion sort versus full reallocating and sorting The reference fake implementation does what we do in most cases in Flipper: shallow clone and allocate an entirely new array to append / update data to preserve immutability. Its comparison is pretty terribly, especially considering that in the perf tests we 'render' only once, skewing the stats in favor of the fake implementation: only at the end of the entire batch of updates we sort & filter once (so after inserting a thousand items for example). In contrast the datasource tests will keep its data sorted at all times, so 'rendering' is already included in the measurements. For the fake datasource, resorting the full 200K rows after each insert would pretty much put bitcoin caused global warming to shame. Also note that the increased GC pressure isn't incorporated in the fake implementation, as we GC outside the measurements.

flipper-plugin
flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").
For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ
flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:
- (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
- (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
- (TODO) Testing utilities
API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).
There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency.
Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
