The update generation path must track and apply all tombstones,
both from the existing base row (if read-before-write was needed)
and for the new row. One such path contained an error, because
it assumed that if the existing row is empty, then the update
can be simply generated from the new row. However, lack of the
existing row can also be the result of a partition/range tombstone.
If that's the case, it needs to be applied, because it's entirely
possible that this partition row also hides the new row.
Without taking the partition tombstone into account, creating
a future tombstone and inserting an out-of-order write before it
in the base table can result in ghost rows in the view table.
This patch comes with a test which was proven to fail before the
changes.
