### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/32015 added a way to run benchmarks much more easily in the same GitHub Actions build. This PR updates the benchmark results by using the way.
**NOTE** that looks like GitHub Actions use four types of CPU given my observations:
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8171M CPU 2.60GHz
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2673 v4 2.30GHz
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2673 v3 2.40GHz
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8272CL CPU 2.60GHz
Given my quick research, seems like they perform roughly similarly:
I couldn't find enough information about Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8272CL CPU 2.60GHz but the performance seems roughly similar given the numbers.
So shouldn't be a big deal especially given that this way is much easier, encourages contributors to run more and guarantee the same number of cores and same memory with the same softwares.
### Why are the changes needed?
To have a base line of the benchmarks accordingly.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No, dev-only.

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR implements a tiny performance optimization for a `GenericArrayData` constructor, avoiding an unnecessary roundtrip through `WrappedArray` when the provided value is already an array of objects.
It also fixes a related performance problem in `ParquetRowConverter`.
### Why are the changes needed?
`GenericArrayData` has a `this(seqOrArray: Any)` constructor, which was originally added in #13138 for use in `RowEncoder` (where we may not know concrete types until runtime) but is also called (perhaps unintentionally) in a few other code paths.
In this constructor's existing implementation, a call to `new WrappedArray(Array[Object](""))` is dispatched to the `this(seqOrArray: Any)` constructor, where we then call `this(array.toSeq)`: this wraps the provided array into a `WrappedArray`, which is subsequently unwrapped in a `this(seq.toArray)` call. For an interactive example, see https://scastie.scala-lang.org/7jOHydbNTaGSU677FWA8nA
This PR changes the `this(seqOrArray: Any)` constructor so that it calls the primary `this(array: Array[Any])` constructor, allowing us to save a `.toSeq.toArray` call; this comes at the cost of one additional `case` in the `match` statement (but I believe this has a negligible performance impact relative to the other savings).
As code cleanup, I also reverted the JVM 1.7 workaround from #14271.
I also fixed a related performance problem in `ParquetRowConverter`: previously, this code called `ArrayBasedMapData.apply` which, in turn, called the `this(Any)` constructor for `GenericArrayData`: this PR's micro-benchmarks show that this is _significantly_ slower than calling the `this(Array[Any])` constructor (and I also observed time spent here during other Parquet scan benchmarking work). To fix this performance problem, I replaced the call to the `ArrayBasedMapData.apply` method with direct calls to the `ArrayBasedMapData` and `GenericArrayData` constructors.
### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
### How was this patch tested?
I tested this by running code in a debugger and by running microbenchmarks (which I've added to a new `GenericArrayDataBenchmark` in this PR):
- With JDK8 benchmarks: this PR's changes more than double the performance of calls to the `this(Any)` constructor. Even after improvements, however, calls to the `this(Array[Any])` constructor are still ~60x faster than calls to `this(Any)` when passing a non-primitive array (thereby motivating this patch's other change in `ParquetRowConverter`).
- With JDK11 benchmarks: the changes more-or-less completely eliminate the performance penalty associated with the `this(Any)` constructor.
Closes#27088 from JoshRosen/joshrosen/GenericArrayData-optimization.
