c01676e46d Implement autovector
Summary:
A vector that leverages pre-allocated stack-based array to achieve better
performance for array with small amount of items.

Test Plan:
Added tests for both correctness and performance

Here is the performance benchmark between vector and autovector

Please note that in the test "Creation and Insertion Test", the test case were designed with the motivation described below:

* no element inserted: internal array of std::vector may not really get
  initialize.
* one element inserted: internal array of std::vector must have
  initialized.
* kSize elements inserted. This shows the most time we'll spend if we
  keep everything in stack.
* 2 * kSize elements inserted. The internal vector of
  autovector must have been initialized.

Note: kSize is the capacity of autovector
