Assert should be completely avoided. Instead, we should trigger an
exception, allowing the db to proceed with a "smooth" shutdown.

The first change was to add the function get_bytes, which will create
a temporary buffer with the format expected by compaction metadata's
cardinality. For creating the format, I had to import write_unsigned_
var_int from stream-lib.
write_unsigned_var_int is about using fewer bytes to encode smaller
integer values, but will use slighly more bytes to larger values.
The last change was to add the function offer_hashed, which receives
a 64-bit hashed value instead. Hash algorithm used by c* is murmur
hash - hash2_64.
