Sagar Vemuri 3548e4220d Improve explicit user readahead performance (#5246)
Summary:
Improve the iterators performance when the user explicitly sets the readahead size via `ReadOptions.readahead_size`.

1. Stop creating new table readers when the user explicitly sets readahead size.
2. Make use of an internal buffer based on `FilePrefetchBuffer` instead of using `ReadaheadRandomAccessFileReader`, to handle the user readahead requests (for both buffered and direct io cases).
3. Add `readahead_size` to db_bench.

**Benchmarks:**
https://gist.github.com/sagar0/53693edc320a18abeaeca94ca32f5737

For 1 MB readahead, Buffered IO performance improves by 28% and Direct IO performance improves by 50%.
For 512KB readahead, Buffered IO performance improves by 30% and Direct IO performance improves by 67%.

**Test Plan:**
Updated `DBIteratorTest.ReadAhead` test to make sure that:
- no new table readers are created for iterators on setting ReadOptions.readahead_size
- At least "readahead" number of bytes are actually getting read on each iterator read.

TODO later:
- Use similar logic for compactions as well.
- This ties in nicely with #4052 and paves the way for removing ReadaheadRandomAcessFile later.
