Performance optimizations when bulk loading large amounts of timestamps #2194

While writing software to sync a couple of hundred million rows from another rdbms to sql server via the BulkCopy API, I discovered a disproportioned amount of time was spent serializing Timestamp objects to then deserialize them into Timestamp objects once again.
My fix for this is to be able to accept Timestamp objects directly (which should cover the majority of objects passed) and only serialize them once when passing the date values to the TDSWriter.

I have attached an example to show the difference while importing about 600k rows with 16 columns with dates only.

Added a test case, I lowered the mount of rows inserted to 10000 to not slow down the test suite

Hi @hannes92,

The PR passes our internal testing, we'll now be reviewing it.

public class BulkCopyTimestampTest extends AbstractTest {

public static final int COLUMN_COUNT = 16;
public static final int ROW_COUNT = 10000;
