This patch replaces the current row tombstone representation by a
row_tombstone.
The intent of the patch is thus to reify the idea of shadowable
tombstones, that up until now we considered all materialized view row
tombstones to be.
We need to distinguish shadowable from non-shadowable row tombstones
to support scenarios such as, when inserting to a table with a
materialzied view:
1. insert into base (p, v1, v2) values (3, 1, 3) using timestamp 1
2. delete from base using timestamp 2 where p = 3
3. insert into base (p, v1) values (3, 1) using timestamp 3
These should yield a view row where v2 is definitely null, but with
the current implementation, v2 will pop back with its value v2=3@TS=1,
even though its dead in the base row. This is because the row
tombstone inserted at 2) is a shadowable one.
This patch only addresses the memory representation of such
row_tombstones.

This patch changes the type of the mutation partition's row_tombstones
to be a range_tombstone_list, so that they are now represented as a
set of disjoint ranges. All of its usages are updated accordingly.

Reduces coupling. User's should not rely on the fact that it's an
std::map<>. It also allows us to extend row's interface with
domain-specific methods, which are a lot easier to discover than free
functions.
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.
