Summary:
The WBWI has two differing modes of operation dependent on the value
of the constructor parameter `overwrite_key`.
Currently, regardless of the parameter, neither mode performs as
expected when using Merge. This PR remedies this by correctly invoking
the appropriate Merge Operator before returning results from the WBWI.
Examples of issues that exist which are solved by this PR:
## Example 1 with `overwrite_key=false`
Currently, from an empty database, the following sequence:
```
Put('k1', 'v1')
Merge('k1', 'v2')
Get('k1')
```
Incorrectly yields `v2`, that is to say that the Merge behaves like a Put.
## Example 2 with o`verwrite_key=true`
Currently, from an empty database, the following sequence:
```
Put('k1', 'v1')
Merge('k1', 'v2')
Get('k1')
```
Incorrectly yields `ERROR: kMergeInProgress`.
## Example 3 with `overwrite_key=false`
Currently, with a database containing `('k1' -> 'v1')`, the following sequence:
```
Merge('k1', 'v2')
GetFromBatchAndDB('k1')
```
Incorrectly yields `v1,v2`
## Example 4 with `overwrite_key=true`
Currently, with a database containing `('k1' -> 'v1')`, the following sequence:
```
Merge('k1', 'v1')
GetFromBatchAndDB('k1')
```
Incorrectly yields `ERROR: kMergeInProgress`.
## Example 5 with `overwrite_key=false`
Currently, from an empty database, the following sequence:
```
Put('k1', 'v1')
Merge('k1', 'v2')
GetFromBatchAndDB('k1')
```
Incorrectly yields `v1,v2`
## Example 6 with `overwrite_key=true`
Currently, from an empty database, `('k1' -> 'v1')`, the following sequence:
```
Put('k1', 'v1')
Merge('k1', 'v2')
GetFromBatchAndDB('k1')
```
Incorrectly yields `ERROR: kMergeInProgress`.
