Summary:
Given that index value is a BlockHandle, which is basically an <offset, size> pair we can apply delta encoding on the values. The first value at each index restart interval encoded the full BlockHandle but the rest encode only the size. Refer to IndexBlockIter::DecodeCurrentValue for the detail of the encoding. This reduces the index size which helps using the block cache more efficiently. The feature is enabled with using format_version 4.
The feature comes with a bit of cpu overhead which should be paid back by the higher cache hits due to smaller index block size.
Results with sysbench read-only using 4k blocks and using 16 index restart interval:
Format 2:

Format 3:

Format 4:

Summary:
Merging iterator invokes InternalKeyComparator.Compare() frequently to heap merge. By making InternalKeyComparator final and merging iterator to directly use InternalKeyComparator rather than through Iterator interface, we can give compiler a choice to avoid one more virtual function call if possible. I ran readseq benchmark in memory-only use case to make sure the performance at least doesn't regress.
I have to disable the final key word in debug build, as a hack test class depends on overriding the class.

merger.h was always a confusing name for me, simply give the file a better name
