Implement incremental rate type

[albertoperdomo2]

Summary

This PR adds a new rate type incremental to the suite of benchmarks. This new rate type starts at a specified initial rate --start-rate and linearly increases the request rate over time by --increment-factor, offering an optional rate limit --rate-limit to cap the maximum rate. This simulates, as the name implies, load ramp up along time.

Details

• Added new CLI flags mentioned before: --start-rate, --increment-factor and --rate-limit.
• Added a new profile IncrementalProfile class.
• Implemented AsyncIncrementalStrategy scheduler strategy that handles the logic and includes the optional initial burst.
• Updated the create_profile function to handle the new arguments.
