A tool which lists all partitions contained in an sstable index. As all
partitions in an sstable are indexed, this tool can be used to find out
what partitions are contained in a given sstable.
The printout has the following format:
$pos: $human_readable_value (pk{$raw_hex_value})
Where:
* $pos: the position of the partition in the (decompressed) data file
* $human_readable_value: the human readable partition key
* $raw_hex_value: the raw hexadecimal value of the binary representation
of the partition key
For now the tool requires the types making up the partition key to be
specified on the command line, using the `--type|-t` command line
argument, using the Cassandra type class name notation for types.
As these are not assumed to be widely known, this patch includes a
document mapping all cql3 types to their Cassandra type class name
equivalent (but not just).
