Avi Kivity ed2a9b8750 Merge 'Commitlog: Fix reading/writing position calculations and allocation size checks' from Calle Wilund
Fixes #16298

The adjusted buffer position calculation in buffer_position(), introduced in https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/15494
was in fact broken. It calculated (like previously) a "position" based on diff between
underlying buffer size and ostream size() (i.e. avail), then adjusted this according to
sector overhead rules.

However, the underlying buffer size is in unadjusted terms, and the ostream is adjusted.
The two cannot be compared as such, which means the "positions" we get here are borked.

Luckily for us (sarcasm), the position calculation in replayer made a similar error,
in that it adjusts up current position by one sector overhead to much, leading to us
more or less getting the same, erroneous results in both ends.

However, when/iff one needs to adjust the segment file format further, one might very
quickly realize that this does not work well if, say, one needs to be able to safely
read some extra bytes before first chunk in a segment. Conversely, trying to adjust
this also exposes a latent potential error in the skip mechanism, manifesting here.

Issue fixed by keeping track of the initial ostream capacity for segment buffer, and
use this for position calculation, and in the case of replayer, move file pos adjustment
from read_data() to subroutine (shared with skipping), that better takes data stream
position vs. file position adjustment. In implementaion terms, we first inc the
"data stream" pos (i.e. pos in data without overhead), then adjust for overhead.

Also fix replayer::skip, so that we handle the buffer/pos relation correctly now.

Added test for intial entry position, as well as data replay consistency for single
entry_writer paths.

Fixes #16301

The calculation on whether data may be added is based on position vs. size of incoming data.
However, it did not take sector overhead into account, which lead us to writing past allowed
segment end, which in turn also leads to metrics overflows.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#16302
