Summary:
MergeUntil was not reporting a success when merging an operand with
a Value/Deletion despite the comments in MergeHelper and CompactionJob
indicating otherwise. This lead to operands being written to the compaction
output unnecessarily:
M1 M2 M3 P M4 M5 --> (P+M1+M2+M3) M2 M3 M4 M5 (before the diff)
M1 M2 M3 P M4 M5 --> (P+M1+M2+M3) M4 M5 (after the diff)
In addition, the code handling Values/Deletion was basically identical.
This patch unifies the code. Finally, this patch also adds testing for
merge_helper.
