Restrict readers based on their memory consumption, instead of the count
of the top-level readers. To do this an interposer is installed at the
input_stream level which tracks buffers emmited by the stream. This way
we can have an accurate picture of the readers' actual memory
consumption.
New readers will consume 16k units from the semaphore up-front. This is
to account their own memory-consumption, apart from the buffers they
will allocate. Creating the reader will be deferred to when there are
enough resources to create it. As before only new readers will be
blocked on an exhausted semaphore, existing readers can continue to
work.

Every mutation source can have a presence checker. By default all
answer "maybe contains".
Having this on mutation_source level will be useful for simplifying
cache update flow. The cache can ask the right snapshot for a presence
checker rather than relying on database to know when and how to make
the right one which preserves all invariants.
This will be especially useful once all updates of the underlying
mutation source of cache (e.g. sstable list) will have to go through
cache for safety reasons.
Exhausted readers can be fast forwarded, so we have to keep them
around. However, if the current reader is not fast forwardable, then
we can drop those readers and their buffers.

combined_mutation_reader now accepts as a constructor argument a
reader_selector instance whoose task is to create new readers on
each call to operator()() if needed and possible.
This way it is possible to control how readers are created through
different specializations of reader_selector.
The previous logic is refactored into list_reader_selector which
is using a pre-provided mutation_reader list and forwards all of them to
combined_mutation_reader at once.
mutation source sometimes ignore fast forwarding parameter so
this change adds assertion to check that this parameter
can be safely ignored.

In commit c63e88d556, support was added for
fast_forward_to() in data_consume_rows(). Because an input stream's end
cannot be changed after creation, that patch ignores the specified end
byte, and uses the end of file as the end position of the stream.
As result of this, even when we want to read a specific byte range (e.g.,
in the repair code to checksum the partitions in a given range), the code
reads an entire 128K buffer around the end byte, or significantly more, with
read-ahead enabled. This causes repair to do more than 10 times the amount
of I/O it really has to do in the checksumming phase (which in the current
implementation, reads small ranges of partitions at a time).
This patch has two levels:
1. In the lower level, sstable::data_consume_rows(), which reads all
partitions in a given disk byte range, now gets another byte position,
"last_end". That can be the range's end, the end of the file, or anything
in between the two. It opens the disk stream until last_end, which means
1. we will never read-ahead beyond last_end, and 2. fast_fordward_to() is
not allowed beyond last_end.
2. In the upper level, we add to the various layers of sstable readers,
mutation readers, etc., a boolean flag mutation_reader::forwarding, which
says whether fast_forward_to() is allowed on the stream of mutations to
move the stream to a different partition range.
Note that this flag is separate from the existing boolean flag
streamed_mutation::fowarding - that one talks about skipping inside a
single partition, while the flag we are adding is about switching the
partition range being read. Most of the functions that previously
accepted streamed_mutation::forwarding now accept *also* the option
mutation_reader::forwarding. The exception are functions which are known
to read only a single partition, and not support fast_forward_to() a
different partition range.
We note that if mutation_reader::forwarding::no is requested, and
fast_forward_to() is forbidden, there is no point in reading anything
beyond the range's end, so data_consume_rows() is called with last_end as
the range's end. But if forwarding::yes is requested, we use the end of the
file as last_end, exactly like the code before this patch did.
Importantly, we note that the repair's partition reading code,
column_family::make_streaming_reader, uses mutation_reader::forwarding::no,
while the other existing reading code will use the default forwarding::yes.
In the future, we can further optimize the amount of bytes read from disk
by replacing forwarding::yes by an actual last partition that may ever be
read, and use its byte position as the last_end passed to data_consume_rows.
But we don't do this yet, and it's not a regression from the existing code,
which also opened the file input stream until the end of the file, and not
until the end of the range query. Moreover, such an improvement will not
improve of anything if the overall range is always very large, in which
case not over-reading at its end will not improve performance.

The typo went unnoticed since the compiler picked up the global scope's
forwarding_tag. The bug made streamed_mutation::forwarding and
mutation_reader::forwarding the same type, but fortunately there were
no type mixups due to this.

This reduces the number of sstables we need to check to only those
whose token range overlaps with the key. Reduces cache update
time. Especially effective with leveled compaction strategy.
Refs #1943.
Incremental selector works with an immutable sstable set, so cache
updates need to be serialized. Otherwise we could mispopulate due to
stale presence information.
Presence checker interface was changed to accept decorated key in
order to gain easy access to the token, which is required by
the incremental selector.
So far, the only way to combine outputs of multiple readers was to use
combining reader. It is very general and, in particular, supports case
when the readers emit mutations from overlapping ranges.
However, we have cases (e.g. streaming) when we need to read from
several disjoint ranges. Combining reader is a suboptimal solution as it
requires to creating a reader for each range and ignores the fact that
they do not overlap.
This patch introduces multi_range_mutation_reader which takes a
mutation_source and a sorted set of disjoint ranges. Internally, it uses
mutation_reader::fast_forward_to() to move to the next range once the
current one is completed.
We want to be able to fast forward sstable readers. However, just
implementing fast_forward_to() for combined_reader is not enough as the
sstables we are reading from may need to change.
Following patches are going to introduce a combined sstable reader that
derives from combined_reader. To make that possible we first need to
make combined_reader public.

This patch introduces the interface for fast forwarding mutation
readers. The main user of this feature is going to be cache which, while
serving range query, may need to read multiple small ranges from the
sstables to populate itself with the missing entries.
Fast forwarding is an alternative to recreating a reader with different
range. Its main advantage is fact that it avoids dropping data that has
already been read.

Originally, streamed_mutations guaranteed that emitted tombstones are
disjoint. In order to achieve that two separate objects were produced
for each range tombstone: range_tombstone_begin and range_tombstone_end.
Unfortunately, this forced sstable writer to accumulate all clustering
rows between range_tombstone_begin and range_tombstone_end.
However, since there is no need to write disjoint tombstones to sstables
(see #1153 "Write range tombstones to sstables like Cassandra does") it
is also not necessary for streamed_mutations to produce disjoint range
tombstones.
This patch changes that by making streamed_mutation produce
range_tombstone objects directly.

While limiting the number of concurrently executing sstable readers reduces
our memory load, the queued readers, although consuming a small amount of
memory, can still grow without bounds.
To limit the damage, add two limits on the queue:
- a timeout, which is equal to the read timeout
- a queue length limit, which is equal to 2% of the shard memory divided
by an estimate of the queued request size (1kb)
Together, these limits bound the amount of memory needed by queued disk
requests in case the disk can't keep up.

A restricting_reader wraps a mutation_reader, and restricts it concurrency
using a provided semaphore; this allows controlling read concurrency, which
is important since reads can consume a lot of resources ((number of
participating sstables) * 128k after we have streaming mutations, and a lot
more before).
Mutation reader produces a stream of streamed_mutations. Each
streamed_mutation itself is a stream so basically we are dealing here
with a stream of streams.
consume_flattened() flattens such stream of streams making all its
elements consumable by a single consumer. It also allows reversing
the mutations before consumption using reverse_streamed_mutation().
