Since the normal Go benchmark machinery cannot readily be used for
Android apps, a new test, TestJavaSeqBench, is added that builds and
runs the new benchmarkpkg package along with its support Java class
SeqBench. Benchmarkpkg mimics Go benchmarking, in particular it
produces benchcmp compatible output.
Excerpts of the output from a Nexus 5:

Benchmarks prefixed with "BenchmarkJava" are for calls from Java into
Go. Benchmarks prefixed with "BenchmarksGo" are the other way around.
Note that all Go benchmarks run against a Java interface implementation
while the Java benchmarks calls Go functions directly. In other words,
every Go call serializes an implicit Java reference, explaining the
higher call times. The JavaRefgo and JavaRefjava tests attempt to
quantify the overhead equivalent for Java.
The "Direct" suffix are for variants that runs the benchmarks from a
new thread or goroutine. For Go it makes little difference, but there
is a noticable speedup when calling Go from Java when there is already
a JNI call context earlier in the stack.
The benchmarks are for Android only for now, but the benchmarkpkg
has been added to the common golang.org/x/mobile/bind package in
anticipation of future iOS support.
