Akanksha Mahajan a0e0feca62 Improve BlockPrefetcher to prefetch only for sequential scans (#7394)
Summary:
BlockPrefetcher is used by iterators to prefetch data if they
anticipate more data to be used in future and this is valid for forward sequential
scans. But BlockPrefetcher tracks only num_file_reads_ and not if reads
are sequential. This presents problem for MultiGet with large number of
keys when it reseeks index iterator and data block. FilePrefetchBuffer
can end up doing large readahead for reseeks as readahead size
increases exponentially once readahead is enabled. Same issue is with
BlockBasedTableIterator.

Add previous length and offset read as well in BlockPrefetcher (creates
FilePrefetchBuffer) and FilePrefetchBuffer (does prefetching of data) to
determine if reads are sequential and then  prefetch.

Update the last block read after cache hit to take reads from cache also
in account.
