Summary:
This PR avoids allocations and copies for the result of `GetMergeOperands()` when the average operand size is at least 256 bytes and the total operands size is at least 32KB. The `GetMergeOperands()` already included `PinnableSlice` but was calling `PinSelf()` (i.e., allocating and copying) for each operand. When this optimization takes effect, we instead call `PinSlice()` to skip that allocation and copy. Resources are pinned in order for the `PinnableSlice` to point to valid memory even after `GetMergeOperands()` returns.
The pinned resources include a referenced `SuperVersion`, a `MergingContext`, and a `PinnedIteratorsManager`. They are bundled into a `GetMergeOperandsState`. We use `SharedCleanablePtr` to share that bundle among all `PinnableSlice`s populated by `GetMergeOperands()`. That way, the last `PinnableSlice` to be `Reset()` will cleanup the bundle, including unreferencing the `SuperVersion`.

Test Plan:
- new DB level test
- measured benefit/regression in a number of memtable scenarios
Setup command:
```
$ ./db_bench -benchmarks=mergerandom -merge_operator=StringAppendOperator -num=$num -writes=16384 -key_size=16 -value_size=$value_sz -compression_type=none -write_buffer_size=1048576000
```
Benchmark command:
```
./db_bench -threads=$threads -use_existing_db=true -avoid_flush_during_recovery=true -write_buffer_size=1048576000 -benchmarks=readrandomoperands -merge_operator=StringAppendOperator -num=$num -duration=10
```
Worst regression is when a key has many tiny operands:
- Parameters: num=1 (implying 16384 operands per key), value_sz=8, threads=1
- `GetMergeOperands()` latency increases 682 micros -> 800 micros (+17%)
The regression disappears into the noise (<1% difference) if we remove the `Reset()` loop and the size counting loop. The former is arguably needed regardless of this PR as the convention in `Get()` and `MultiGet()` is to `Reset()` the input `PinnableSlice`s at the start. The latter could be optimized to count the size as we accumulate operands rather than after the fact.
Best improvement is when a key has large operands and high concurrency:
- Parameters: num=4 (implying 4096 operands per key), value_sz=2KB, threads=32
- `GetMergeOperands()` latency decreases 11492 micros -> 437 micros (-96%).
