870e9e5729 lsa: Replace compaction_lock with broader reclaim_lock
Disabling compaction of a region is currently done in order to keep
the references valid. But disabling only compaction is not enough, we
also need to disable eviction, as it also invalidates
references. Rather than introducing another type of lock, compaction
and eviction are controlled together, generalized as "reclaiming"
(hence the reclaim_lock).

d20fae96a2 lsa: Make reclaimer run synchronously with allocations
The goal is to make allocation less likely to fail. With async
reclaimer there is an implicit bound on the amount of memory that can
be allocated between deferring points. This bound is difficult to
enforce though. Sync reclaimer lifts this limitation off.

Also, allocations which could not be satisfied before because of
fragmentation now will have higher chances of succeeding, although
depending on how much memory is fragmented, that could involve
evicting a lot of segments from cache, so we should still avoid them.

Downside of sync reclaiming is that now references into regions may be
invalidated not only across deferring points but at any allocation
site. compaction_lock can be used to pin data, preferably just
temporarily.

To avoid confusion with region_impl::is_compactible() when the getter
is added.

ef549ae5a5 lsa: Reclaim space from evictable regions incrementally
When LSA reclaimer cannot reclaim more space by compaction, it
will reclaim data by evicting from evictable regions.

Currently the only evictable region is the one owned by the row cache.
