Evaluate Circllhist as an HdrHistogram replacement

[trustin]

https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.06561

The circllhist histogram is a fast and memory efficient data structure for summarizing large numbers of latency measurements. It is particularly suited for applications in IT infrastructure monitoring, and provides nano-second data insertion, full mergeability, accurate approximation of quantiles with a-priori bounds on the relative error.
Open-source implementations are available for C/lua/python/Go/Java/JavaScript.

relates to #1599 as currently there's a hard dependency on HdrHistogram. Not sure if the aim here is to replace or make possible.

Interesting paper. I haven't yet found the java impl, though. I have found others which are BSD licensed, not sure if/how they are distributed cc @postwait https://github.com/circonus-labs/libcircllhist
