   ## Rationale for this change

   Comet uses JNI jstrings as the keys to updating metrics values on the Spark 
side during execution. As described in #1024, currently Comet allocates a 
jstring for every metric for every invocation of metrics updating. The calls to 
`jni_NewStringUTF` account for over 1% of the on-CPU time in TPC-H SF10 for me.

   Added a HashMap that maps the native string to a jstring to use in JNI 
calls. This has the benefit of being many-to-one, whereby multiple nodes with 
the same metric name will benefit from the cached jstring. This cache is 
populated on demand: if the entry isn't present, we allocate a jstring and 
insert it into the cache.
   
   I have some thoughts about this approach that I would love for reviewers to 
comment on:
   
   1. I wanted to populate the cache in advance, maybe do a plan traversal when 
it's generated in `ExecutePlan`. However, DF's metrics are Options and don't 
actually appear to be there until the plan starts executing.
   2. What is the thread safety of this approach? It's unclear to me if 
multiple threads could be sharing this call stack and trying to write new 
values into the cache at the same time. I could wrap this in a mutex in 
exchange for a performance hit, but would like to understand if this is even 
possible.
   3. I think I understood the [jni crate's docs with respect to 
GlobalRef](https://docs.rs/jni/latest/jni/objects/struct.GlobalRef.html), but a 
sanity check on if this approach could hold references longer than we want (and 
leak) would be helpful. 
   
   ## How are these changes tested?
   
   <!--
   We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
   1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
   4. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
   
   If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are 
they covered by existing tests)?

   Existing tests on the JVM side that exercise metrics.
