Summary:
Windows does not have LD_PRELOAD mechanism to override all memory allocation functions and ZSTD makes use of C-tuntime calloc. During flushes and compactions default system allocator fragments and the system slows down considerably.
For builds with jemalloc we employ an advanced ZSTD context creation API that re-directs memory allocation to jemalloc. To reduce the cost of context creation on each block we cache ZSTD context within the block based table builder while a new SST file is being built, this will help all platform builds including those w/o jemalloc. This avoids system allocator fragmentation and improves the performance.
The change does not address random reads and currently on Windows reads with ZSTD regress as compared with SNAPPY compression.

Summary:
Divide ReadBlockContents() to multiple sub-functions. Maintaining the input and intermediate data in a new class BlockFetcher.
I hope in general it makes the code easier to maintain.
Another motivation to do it is to clearly divide the logic before file reading and after file reading. The refactor will help us evaluate how can we make I/O async in the future.
