Thales Macedo Garitezi 8aa7c014e7 perf(buffer_worker): avoid calling `ets:info/2`
(Almost?) fixes https://emqx.atlassian.net/browse/EMQX-9637

During the course of performance tests comparing the performance of
e5.0.3 and e4.4.16 regarding the webhook bridge in sync mode, we
observed that the throughput in e5.0.3 (sync) was much lower than in
e4.4.16: ~ 9 k msgs / s vs. ~ 50 k msgs / s, respectively.

Analyzing `observer_cli` output, we noticed that a lot of the time
both buffer workers and ehttpc processes was spent in `ets:info/2`.
That function was called to check the size of the inflight table when
updating metrics and checking if the inflight table was full.  Other
uses of `ets:info/2` were contained inside the arguments to some
`?tp/2` macro usages (https://github.com/kafka4beam/snabbkaffe/pull/60).

By using a specific record to track the size of the table, we managed
to improve the bridge performance to ~ 45 k msgs / s in sync mode.

emqx_resource

The emqx_resource is a behavior that manages configuration specs and runtime states for resources like mysql or redis backends.

It is intended to be used by the emqx_bridges and all other resources that need CRUD operations to their configs, and need to initialize the states when creating.

There can be foreign references between resource instances via resource-id. So they may find each other via this Id.

The main idea of the emqx resource is to put all the general code in a common lib, including the config operations (like config validation, config dump back to files), and the state management. And we put all the specific codes to the callback modules.
