Summary:
With mmap enabled on an uncompressed file, we were previously always doing a heap allocation to obtain the scratch buffer for `RandomAccessFileReader::Read()`. However, that allocation was unnecessary as the underlying file reader returned a pointer into its mapped memory, not the provided scratch buffer. This PR makes passes the `BlockFetcher`'s inline buffer as the scratch buffer if the data block is small enough (less than `kDefaultStackBufferSize` bytes, currently 5000). Ideally we would not pass a scratch buffer at all for an mmap read; however, the `RandomAccessFile::Read()` API guarantees such a buffer is provided, and non-standard implementations may be relying on it even when `Options::allow_mmap_reads == true`. In that case, this PR still works but introduces an extra copy from the inline buffer to a heap buffer.
