Subject: [PATCH] Document performance reduction with QLC string handles

`qlc:string_to_handle` seems to have worse performance than `qlc:q` with
the same input query, presumably because the parse transform is not
optimizing `qlc:string_to_handle`.

Benchmarks that showcase this behaviour can be found here:

 This function is probably mainly useful when called from
 outside of Erlang, for example from a driver written in C.
