fastavroshows considerable improvements overavroin our benchmarks. The following benchmark is comparing the current avro_encoder in nypl-python-utils with the one in this PR:schemaless_writerandschemaless_readerin this change. In my testing, using the standard fastavrowriterandreaderput headers onto the encoded data which didn't match the bytes of the unit test's expected data. In order to adhere to the existing tests (and presumably existing encoders/decoders) I opted to exclude the headers during encoding.
