We define the native reverse format as a reversed mutation fragment
stream that is identical to one that would be emitted by a table with
the same schema but with reversed clustering order. The main difference
to the current format is how range tombstones are handled: instead of
looking at their start or end bound depending on the order, we always
use them as-usual and the reversing reader swaps their bounds to
facilitate this. This allows us to treat reversed streams completely
transparently: just pass along them a reversed schema and all the
reader, compacting and result building code is happily ignorant about
the fact that it is a reversed stream.
