Address code review comments: improve documentation and exception handling

- Add detailed comments explaining leaf depth calculation
- Document prefix encoding format (length in lower 7 bits, value in upper bits)
- Replace bare except clauses with specific exception types
- Catch only relevant exceptions (gdb.error, MemoryError, ValueError, AttributeError)

-
-    LWT requires that storage_proxy::cas() is invoked on a valid shard — the one
-    returned by sharder.try_get_shard_for_reads() for a tablets-based table.
-
-    The bug: if the current shard is invalid and we jump to the valid shard, that
-    new shard may become invalid again by the time we attempt to capture the ERM.
-    This leads to a failure of the CAS path.
-
-    The fix: retry the validity check and jump again if the current shard is already
-    invalid. We should exit the loop once the shard is valid *and* we hold a strong pointer
-    to the ERM — which prevents further tablet movements until the ERM is released.
