Summary:
The patch adds iterator support to the integrated BlobDB implementation.
Whenever a blob reference is encountered during iteration, the corresponding
blob is retrieved by calling `Version::GetBlob`, assuming the `expose_blob_index`
(formerly `allow_blob`) flag is *not* set. (Note: the flag is set by the old stacked
BlobDB implementation, which has its own blob file handling/blob retrieval logic.)
In addition, `DBIter` now uniformly returns `Status::NotSupported` with the error
message `"BlobDB does not support merge operator."` when encountering a
blob reference while performing a merge (instead of potentially returning a
message that implies the database should be opened using the stacked BlobDB's
`Open`.)
TODO: We can implement support for lazily retrieving the blob value (or in other
words, bypassing the retrieval of blob values based on key) by extending the `Iterator`
API with a new `PrepareValue` method (similarly to `InternalIterator`, which already
supports lazy values).
