Summary:
This is intended as a step toward possibly separating secondary cache integration from the
Cache implementation as much as possible, to (hopefully) minimize code duplication in
adding secondary cache support to HyperClockCache.
* Major clarifications to API docs of secondary cache compatible parts of Cache. For example, previously the docs seemed to suggest that Wait() was not needed if IsReady()==true. And it wasn't clear what operations were actually supported on pending handles.
* Add some assertions related to these requirements, such as that we don't Release() before Wait() (which would leak a secondary cache handle).
* Fix a leaky abstraction with dummy handles, which are supposed to be internal to the Cache. Previously, these just used value=nullptr to indicate dummy handle, which meant that they could be confused with legitimate value=nullptr cases like cache reservations. Also fixed blob_source_test which was relying on this leaky abstraction.
* Drop "incomplete" terminology, which was another name for "pending".
* Split handle flags into "mutable" ones requiring mutex and "immutable" ones which do not. Because of single-threaded access to pending handles, the "Is Pending" flag can be in the "immutable" set. This allows removal of a TSAN work-around and removing a mutex acquire-release in IsReady().
* Remove some unnecessary handling of charges on handles of failed lookups. Keeping total_charge=0 means no special handling needed. (Removed one unnecessary mutex acquire/release.)
* Simplify handling of dummy handle in Lookup(). There is no need to explicitly Ref & Release w/Erase if we generally overwrite the dummy anyway. (Removed one mutex acquire/release, a call to Release().)
Intended follow-up:
* Clarify APIs in secondary_cache.h
* Doesn't SecondaryCacheResultHandle transfer ownership of the Value() on success (implementations should not release the value in destructor)?
* Does Wait() need to be called if IsReady() == true? (This would be different from Cache.)
* Do Value() and Size() have undefined behavior if IsReady() == false?
* Why have a custom API for what is essentially a std::future<std::pair<void*, size_t>>?
* Improve unit testing of standalone handle case
* Apparent null `e` bug in `free_standalone_handle` case
* Clean up secondary cache testing in lru_cache_test
* Why does TestSecondaryCacheResultHandle hold on to a Cache::Handle?
* Why does TestSecondaryCacheResultHandle::Wait() do nothing? Shouldn't it establish the post-condition IsReady() == true?
* (Assuming that is sorted out...) Shouldn't TestSecondaryCache::WaitAll simply wait on each handle in order (no casting required)? How about making that the default implementation?
* Why does TestSecondaryCacheResultHandle::Size() check Value() first? If the API is intended to be returning 0 before IsReady(), then that is weird but should at least be documented. Otherwise, if it's intended to be undefined behavior, we should assert IsReady().
* Consider replacing "standalone" and "dummy" entries with a single kind of "weak" entry that deletes its value when it reaches zero refs. Suppose you are using compressed secondary cache and have two iterators at similar places. It will probably common for one iterator to have standalone results pinned (out of cache) when the second iterator needs those same blocks and has to re-load them from secondary cache and duplicate the memory. Combining the dummy and the standalone should fix this.

Test Plan:
existing tests (minor update), and crash test with sanitizers and secondary cache
Performance test for any regressions in LRUCache (primary only):
Create DB with
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=30000000 -disable_wal=1 -bloom_bits=16
```
Test before & after (run at same time) with
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -benchmarks=readrandom[-X100] -readonly -num=30000000 -bloom_bits=16 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks=1 -cache_size=233000000 -duration 30 -threads=16
```
Before: readrandom [AVG 100 runs] : 22234 (± 63) ops/sec; 1.6 (± 0.0) MB/sec
After: readrandom [AVG 100 runs] : 22197 (± 64) ops/sec; 1.6 (± 0.0) MB/sec
That's within 0.2%, which is not significant by the confidence intervals.
