M. J. Fromberger 1dca1a8f97 Performance improvements for the event query API (#7319)
Rework the implementation of event query parsing and execution to
improve performance and reduce memory usage.

Previous memory and CPU profiles of the pubsub service showed query
processing as a significant hotspot. While we don't have evidence that
this is visibly hurting users, fixing it is fairly easy and self-contained.

Updates #6439.

Typical benchmark results comparing the original implementation (PEG) with the reworked implementation (Custom):
```
TEST                        TIME/OP  BYTES/OP  ALLOCS/OP  SPEEDUP   MEM SAVING
BenchmarkParsePEG-12       51716 ns  526832    27
BenchmarkParseCustom-12     2167 ns    4616    17         23.8x     99.1%
BenchmarkMatchPEG-12        3086 ns    1097    22
BenchmarkMatchCustom-12    294.2 ns      64     3         10.5x     94.1%
```

Components:
* Add a basic parsing benchmark.
* Move the original query implementation to a subdirectory.
* Add lexical scanner for Query expressions.
* Add a parser for Query expressions.
* Implement query compiler.
* Add test cases based on OpenAPI examples.
* Add MustCompile to replace the original MustParse, and update usage.

Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI)

Blockchains are systems for multi-master state machine replication. ABCI is an interface that defines the boundary between the replication engine (the blockchain), and the state machine (the application). Using a socket protocol, a consensus engine running in one process can manage an application state running in another.

Previously, the ABCI was referred to as TMSP.

The community has provided a number of additional implementations, see the Tendermint Ecosystem

Installation & Usage

To get up and running quickly, see the getting started guide along with the abci-cli documentation which will go through the examples found in the examples directory.

Specification

A detailed description of the ABCI methods and message types is contained in:

Protocol Buffers

To compile the protobuf file, run (from the root of the repo):

make protoc_abci

See protoc --help and the Protocol Buffers site for details on compiling for other languages. Note we also include a GRPC service definition.
