Tomasz Grabiec 4ab66de0ae db: Introduce frozen_mutation
The immediate motivation for introducing frozen_mutation is inability
to deserialize current "mutation" object, which needs schema reference
at the time it's constructed. It needs schema to initialize its
internal maps with proper key comparators, which depend on schema.

frozen_mutation is an immutable, compact form of a mutation. It
doesn't use complex in-memory strucutres, data is stored in a linear
buffer. In case of frozen_mutation schema needs to be supplied only at
the time mutation partition is visited. Therefore it can be trivially
deserialized without schema.

// This form is primarily destined to be sent over the network channel.
// Regular mutation can't be deserialized because its complex data structures
// need schema reference at the time object is constructed. We can't lookup
// schema before we deserialize column family ID. Another problem is that even
// if we had the ID somehow, low level RPC layer doesn't know how to lookup
// the schema. Data can be wrapped in frozen_mutation without schema
// information, the schema is only needed to access some of the fields.
