Add benchmark for gRPC GetValidatorSet

[hexfusion]

Why this should be merged

It is important to understand the cost of requesting a large validator set over gRPC. Even though the call is local there is a cost for serialization. The wire cost for the RPC is only about 1.6ms. The rest of the time is spent converting bytes to BLS keys (cgo).
