Tomislav Novak 81c9cc9b3b Tailing iterator
Summary:
This diff implements a special type of iterator that doesn't create a snapshot
(can be used to read newly inserted data) and is optimized for doing sequential
reads.

TailingIterator uses current superversion number to determine whether to
invalidate its internal iterators. If the version hasn't changed, it can often
avoid doing expensive seeks over immutable structures (sst files and immutable
memtables).

Test Plan:
* new unit tests
* running LD with this patch
