CQL evolved several expression evaluation mechanisms: WHERE clause,
selectors (the SELECT clause), and the LWT IF clause are just some
examples. Most now use expressions, which use managed_bytes_opt
as the underlying value representation, but selectors still use bytes_opt.
This poses two problems:
1. bytes_opt generates large contiguous allocations when used with large blobs, impacting latency
2. trying to use expressions with bytes_opt will incur a copy, reducing performance
To solve the problem, we harmonize the data types to managed_bytes_opt
(#13216 notwithstanding). This is somewhat difficult since the source of the values
are views into a bytes_ostream. However, luckily bytes_ostream and managed_bytes_view
are mostly compatible so with a little effort this can be done.
The series is neutral wrt performance:
before:
```
222118.61 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43092 insns/op, 0 errors)
224250.14 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43094 insns/op, 0 errors)
224115.66 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43092 insns/op, 0 errors)
223508.70 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43107 insns/op, 0 errors)
223498.04 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43087 insns/op, 0 errors)
```
after:
```
220708.37 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43118 insns/op, 0 errors)
225168.99 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43081 insns/op, 0 errors)
222406.00 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43088 insns/op, 0 errors)
224608.27 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43102 insns/op, 0 errors)
225458.32 tps ( 61.1 allocs/op, 12.1 tasks/op, 43098 insns/op, 0 errors)
```
Though I expect with some more effort we can eliminate some copies.
