Cache simulator: Add a ghost cache for admission control and a hybrid row-block cache. (#5534)

Summary:
This PR adds a ghost cache for admission control. Specifically, it admits an entry on its second access.
It also adds a hybrid row-block cache that caches the referenced key-value pairs of a Get/MultiGet request instead of its blocks.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/5534

Test Plan: make clean && COMPILE_WITH_ASAN=1 make check -j32
