benchmark for loading with exporter

Take opensnoop from bcc/libbpf-tools as an example. starting with BCC, you will need about 0.8s to start the exporter and attach to the probe. With out implement, you only need about 50-70ms which is significantly faster.

$ ps -aux | grep eunomia

The memory usage and CPU usage is also low. see eunomia-exporter for more details.
