Yet another approach to dealing with large commitlog submissions.
We handle oversize single mutation by adding yet another entry
type: fragmented. In this case we only add a fragment (aha) of
the data that needs storing into each entry, along with metadata
to correlate and reconstruct the full entry on replay.
Because these fragmented entries are spread over N segments, we
also need to add references from the first segment in a chain
to the subsequent ones. These are released once we clear the
relevant cf_id count in the base.

This approach has the downside that due to how serialization etc
works w.r.t. mutations, we need to create an intermediate buffer
to hold the full serialized target entry. This is then incrementally
written into entries of < max_mutation_size, successively requesting
more segments.
On replay, when encountering a fragment chain, the fragment is
added to a "state", i.e. a mapping of currently processing
frag chains. Once we've found all fragments and concatenated
the buffers into a single fragmented one, we can issue a
replay callback as usual.
Note that a replay caller will need to create and provide such
a state object. Old signature replay function remains for tests
and such.
This approach bumps the file format (docs to come).
To ensure "atomicity" we both force syncronization, and should
the whole op fail, we restore segment state (rewinding), thus
discarding data all we wrote.
v2:
* Improve some bookeep, ensure we keep track of segments and flush
properly, to get counter correct
