tika-eval: Compare Before/After Extracts

Compare the output of two versions of Tika against a corpus of files to detect regressions in content extraction, encoding, exceptions, and embedded document handling.

Before You Start

Ask the user for:

1. Working directory, where to put builds, extracts, eval db, and reports (<workdir> below). All artifacts go here.
2. Number of threads (-n), default is 2. Use -n 6 for faster runs when parse time comparison is not needed. When comparing parse times between A and B, use the same -n for both.
3. Run reports?, whether to auto-generate the HTML/Excel reports and summary.md at the end (the -r flag on tika-eval Compare).
