Create a POC using native compile
To investigate native compiles using Quarkus, Geo IP would make a great candidate as the API itself is incredibly simple and has limited external 3rd party references, mainly being MaxMind. This should make this an easy first attempt at native compilation to investigate the differences between the 2 methods.
We will need a new branch, as well as a specific Jenkins setup to handle compilation of native jars, as this will require specialized JVMs for compilation. We don't want this to end up in trunk until we have more experience and information about native compiles and whether we want to make use of them in our stack, as there are trade offs to using them.
