It is safe to copy column_mapping accros shards. Such guarantee comes at
the cost of performance.
This patch makes commitlog_entry_writer use IDL generated writer to
serialise commitlog_entry so that column_mapping is not copied. This
also simplifies commitlog_entry itself.
Performance difference tested with:
perf_simple_query -c4 --write --duration 60
(medians)
before after diff
write 79434.35 89247.54 +12.3%
(cherry picked from commit 374c8a56ac)
Also: Fixes#2468.
Goal is to calculate a size that is lesser or equal than the
segment-dependent size.

Extracted here so it sits clearly in a different patch.
