Raphael S. Carvalho 17d8a0c727 compaction: do not write expired cell as dead cell if it can be purged right away
When compacting a fully expired sstable, we're not allowing that sstable
to be purged because expired cell is *unconditionally* converted into a
dead cell. Why not check if the expired cell can be purged instead using
gc before and max purgeable timestamp?

Currently, we need two compactions to get rid of a fully expired sstable
which cells could have always been purged.

look at this sstable with expired cell:
  {
    "partition" : {
      "key" : [ "2" ],
      "position" : 0
    },
    "rows" : [
      {
        "type" : "row",
        "position" : 120,
        "liveness_info" : { "tstamp" : "2017-04-09T17:07:12.702597Z",
"ttl" : 20, "expires_at" : "2017-04-09T17:07:32Z", "expired" : true },
        "cells" : [
          { "name" : "country", "value" : "1" },
        ]

now this sstable data after first compaction:
[shard 0] compaction - Compacted 1 sstables to [...]. 120 bytes to 79
(~65% of original) in 229ms = 0.000328997MB/s.

  {
    ...
    "rows" : [
      {
        "type" : "row",
        "position" : 79,
        "cells" : [
          { "name" : "country", "deletion_info" :
{ "local_delete_time" : "2017-04-09T17:07:12Z" },
            "tstamp" : "2017-04-09T17:07:12.702597Z"
          },
        ]

now another compaction will actually get rid of data:
compaction - Compacted 1 sstables to []. 79 bytes to 0 (~0% of original)
in 1ms = 0MB/s. ~2 total partitions merged to 0

NOTE:
It's a waste of time to wait for second compaction because the expired
cell could have been purged at first compaction because it satisfied
gc_before and max purgeable timestamp.

Fixes #2249, #2253
