Radoslaw Zarzynski 09b6bf828a InlineSkiplist: don't decode keys unnecessarily during comparisons
Summary:
Summary
========
`InlineSkipList<>::Insert` takes the `key` parameter as a C-string. Then, it performs multiple comparisons with it requiring the `GetLengthPrefixedSlice()` to be spawn in `MemTable::KeyComparator::operator()(const char* prefix_len_key1, const char* prefix_len_key2)` on the same data over and over. The patch tries to optimize that.

Rough performance comparison
=====
Big keys, no compression.

```
$ ./db_bench --writes 20000000 --benchmarks="fillrandom" --compression_type none -key_size 256
(...)
fillrandom   :       4.222 micros/op 236836 ops/sec;   80.4 MB/s
```

```
$ ./db_bench --writes 20000000 --benchmarks="fillrandom" --compression_type none -key_size 256
(...)
fillrandom   :       4.064 micros/op 246059 ops/sec;   83.5 MB/s
```

TODO
======
In ~~a separated~~ this PR:
- [x] Go outside the write path. Maybe even eradicate the C-string-taking variant of `KeyIsAfterNode` entirely.
- [x] Try to cache the transformations applied by `KeyComparator` & friends in situations where we havy many comparisons with the same key.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3516
