Including the setup code in the benchmark method to avoid JMH Invocation level hiccups.

Motivation:

The usage of Invocation level for JMH fixture methods (setup/teardown) inccurs in a significant overhead
in the benchmark time (see org.openjdk.jmh.annotations.Level documentation).

In the case of CodecInputListBenchmark, benchmarks are far too small (less than 50ns) and the Invocation
level setup offsets the measurement considerably.
On such cases, the recommended fix patch is to include the setup/teardown code in the benchmark method.

Modifications:

Include the setup/teardown code in the relevant benchmark methods.
Remove the setup/teardown methods from the benchmark class.

Result:

We run the entire benchmark 10 times with default parameters we observed:
- ArrayList benchmark affected directly by JMH overhead is now from 15-80% faster.
- CodecList benchmark is now 50% faster than original (even with the setup code being measured).
- Recyclable ArrayList is ~30% slower.
- All benchmarks have significant different means (ANOVA) and medians (Moore)

Mode: Throughput (Higher the better)
