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.
"Currently restricting_mutation_reader restricts mutation_readears on a
count basis. This is inaccurate on multiple levels. The reader might be
a combined_mutation_reader, which might be composed of multiple
individual readers, whose number might change during the lifetime of the
reader. The memory consumption of the readers can vary and may change
during the lifetime of the reader as well.
To remedy this, make the restriction memory-consumption based. The
restricting semaphore is now configured with the amound of memory
(bytes) that its readers are allowed to consume in total. New readers
consume 128k units up-front to account for read-ahead buffers, and then
consume additional units for any buffer (returned
from input_stream<>::read()) they keep around.
Like before, readers already allowed to read will not be blocked,
instead new readers will be blocked on their first read if all the units
all consumed."
Fixes#2692.

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.
