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.

write() will now write framing information. It will be needed when
serializing many mutations. The old version was left as
write_without_framing().
This change also makes the serializer interface closer to that of
db::serializer<>. To write an object, the serializer instance is
instantiated with the object and remembers the size, so that size
calculation doesn't have to be repeated again for write().
The immediate motivation for introducing frozen_mutation is inability
to deserialize current "mutation" object, which needs schema reference
at the time it's constructed. It needs schema to initialize its
internal maps with proper key comparators, which depend on schema.
frozen_mutation is an immutable, compact form of a mutation. It
doesn't use complex in-memory strucutres, data is stored in a linear
buffer. In case of frozen_mutation schema needs to be supplied only at
the time mutation partition is visited. Therefore it can be trivially
deserialized without schema.
