loading_shared_values/loading_cache'es iterators interface is dangerous/fragile because
iterator doesn't "lock" the entry it points to and if there is a
preemption point between aquiring non-end() iterator and its
dereferencing the corresponding cache entry may had already got evicted (for
whatever reason, e.g. cache size constraints or expiration) and then
dereferencing may end up in a use-after-free and we don't have any
protection against it in the value_extractor_fn today.
And this is in addition to #8920.
So, instead of trying to fix the iterator interface this patch kills two
birds in a single shot: we are ditching the iterators interface
completely and return value_ptr from find(...) instead - the same one we
are returning from loading_cache::get_ptr(...) asyncronous APIs.
A similar rework is done to a loading_shared_values loading_cache is
based on: we drop iterators interface and return
loading_shared_values::entry_ptr from find(...) instead.
loading_cache::value_ptr already takes care of "lock"ing the returned value so that it
would relain readable even if it's evicted from the cache by the time
one tries to read it. And of course it also takes care of updating the
last read time stamp and moving the corresponding item to the top of the
MRU list.
Fixes#8920

Use the thread_local seastar::testing::local_random_engine
in all seastar tests so they can be reproduced using
the --random-seed option.

rand_int() re-creates a random device each time it is called.
Change it to use a static random_device, and get random numbers
from a random_engine instead of from the device directly.
This avoids exhausting entropy, see [1] for details.

This removes the need to include reactor.hh, a source of compile
time bloat.
In some places, the call is qualified with seastar:: in order
to resolve ambiguities with a local name.
Includes are adjusted to make everything compile. We end up
having 14 translation units including reactor.hh, primarily for
deprecated things like reactor::at_exit().
Ref #1
1. Move tests to test (using singular seems to be a convention
in the rest of the code base)
2. Move boost tests to test/boost, other
(non-boost) unit tests to test/unit, tests which are
expected to be run manually to test/manual.
Update configure.py and test.py with new paths to tests.
