Summary:
The patch introduces a new class called `BlobContents`, which represents
a single uncompressed blob value. We currently use `std::string` for this
purpose; `BlobContents` is somewhat smaller but the primary reason for a
dedicated class is that it enables certain improvements and optimizations
like eliding a copy when inserting a blob into the cache, using custom
allocators, or more control over and better accounting of the memory usage
of cached blobs (see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10484).
(We plan to implement these in subsequent PRs.)
