The API contract in partition_version.hh states that when dealing with
evictable entries, a real cache tracker pointer has to be passed to all
methods that ask for it. The nonpopulating reader violates this, passing
a nullptr to the snapshot. This was observed to cause a crash when a
concurrent cache read accessed the snapshot with the null tracker.
A reproducer is included which fails before and passes after the fix.

We are about to change start() to return a proxy object rather
than a `const interval_bound<T>&`. This is generally transparent,
except in one case: `auto x = i.start()`. With the current implementation,
we'll copy object referred to and assign it to x. With the planned
implementation, the proxy object will be assigned to `x`, but it
will keep referring to `i`.
To prevent such problems, rename start() to start_ref() and end()
to end_ref(). This forces us to audit all calls, and redirect calls
that will break to new start_copy() and end_copy() methods.
The cache should not garbage-collect tombstone which cover data in the
memtable. Add overlap checks (get_max_purgeable) to garbage collection
to detect tombstones which cover data in the memtable and to prevent
their garbage collection.
