Strongly consistent writes require knowing the maximum timestamp of
locally applied mutations to guarantee monotonically increasing
timestamps for subsequent writes.
This commit adds a function that returns the maximum timestamp for a
given tablet.
Why it is safe to use this function with deleted cells:
* Tombstones are included in memtable.get_max_timestamp() calculations.
* The maximum timestamp of a memtable is used to initialize the maximum
timestamp of the resulting sstable.
* During compaction, a new sstable’s maximum timestamp is initialized as
the maximum of the contributing sstables.
