Summary: this diff only replace the cases when we need to frequently create vector with small amount of entries. This diff doesn't aim to improve performance of a specific area, but more like a small scale test for the autovector and see how it works in real life.
Test Plan:
make check
I also ran the performance tests, however there is no performance gain/loss. All performance numbers are pretty much the same before/after the change.

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
