GC stats look better

-From my POV: +1-

> While profiling a simple stress write run ({{cassandra-stress write n=2000000 -rate threads=50}} to be precise) with Mission Control, I noticed that a non trivial amount of heap pressure was due to the {{ByteBuffer.wrap()}} call in {{SequentialWriter.write(byte[])}}. Basically, when writing a byte array, we wrap it in a ByteBuffer to reuse the {{SequentialWriter.write(ByteBuffer)}} method. One could have hoped this wrapping would be stack allocated, but if Mission Control isn't lying (and I was told it's fairly honest on that front), it's not. And we do use that {{write(byte[])}} method quite a bit, especially with the new vint encodings since they use a {{byte[]}} thread local buffer and call that method.
> Anyway, it sounds very simple to me to have a more direct {{write(byte[])}} method, so attaching a patch to do that. A very quick local benchmark seems to show a little bit less allocation and a slight edge for the branch with this patch (on top of CASSANDRA-9705 I must add), but that local bench was far from scientific so happy if someone that knows how to use our perf service want to give that patch a shot.
