[DESIGN] Automate indexer performance and validation test

[shiqizng]

Problem

Each time we need to run indexer performance or validation testing, we need to ask DevOps to set up the needed infrastructure.

Requirements

• automated performance testing
• automated block validation testing
• automated upgrade testing

Dependencies

Performance Testing

• Need to document how to execute
• How we determine good/bad rates for everything

Validation Testing

• Parameters - are these selectable betanet, testnet, mainnet?
• We already have weekly validation of live indexers, so this is presumably on demand for custom branches?

Automated Upgrade Testing

• Instance specifications
• Database (RDS fast enough?)

What is the trigger for the above? Jenkins pipeline?

Acceptance Criteria

• Design doc + review
• Ticket for implementation

#451 is written differently, but should probably be closed in favor of this.
