Summary:
When returning `kNoEntry` from HashIndex lookup, previously we invalidate the
`biter` by set `current_=restarts_`, so that the search can continue to the next
block in case the search result may reside in the next block.
There is one problem: when we are searching for a missing key, if the search
finds a `kNoEntry` and continue the search to the next block, there is also a
non-trivial possibility that the HashIndex return `kNoEntry` too, and the
expensive index iterator `Next()` will happen several times for nothing.
The solution is that if the hash table returns `kNoEntry`, `SeekForGetImpl()` just search the last restart interval for the key. It will stop at the first key that is large than the seek_key, or to the end of the block, and each case will be handled correctly.
Microbenchmark script:
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench --benchmarks=fillseq,readtocache,readmissing \
--cache_size=20000000000 --use_data_block_hash_index={true|false}
```
`readmissing` performance (lower is better):
```
