Change the assignment syntax introduced in 66c0dabab5 (reftable: make
reftable_record a tagged union, 2022-01-20) to be portable to AIX xlc
v12.1:
avar@gcc111:[/home/avar]xlc -qversion
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V12.1 (5765-J02, 5725-C72)
Version: 12.01.0000.0000
The error emitted before this was e.g.:
"reftable/generic.c", line 133.26: 1506-196 (S) Initialization
between types "char*" and "struct reftable_ref_record" is not
allowed.
The syntax in the pre-image is supported by e.g. xlc 13.01 on a newer
AIX version:
avar@gcc119:[/home/avar]xlc -qversion
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V13.1.3 (5725-C72, 5765-J07)
Version: 13.01.0003.0006
But as we've otherwise supported this compiler let's not break it
entirely if it's easy to work around it.

This isn't used per se, but it is useful for debugging, especially
Windows CI failures.

This reduces the amount of glue code, because we don't need a void
pointer or vtable within the structure.
The only snag is that reftable_index_record contain a strbuf, so it
cannot be zero-initialized. To address this, use reftable_new_record()
to return fresh instance, given a record type. Since
reftable_new_record() doesn't cause heap allocation anymore, it should
be balanced with reftable_record_release() rather than
reftable_record_destroy().
Thanks to Peff for the suggestion.

This simplifies unittests a little, and provides further coverage for
reftable_record_copy().

The reftable format is structured as a sequence of blocks, and each block
contains a sequence of prefix-compressed key-value records. There are 4 types of
records, and they have similarities in how they must be handled. This is
achieved by introducing a polymorphic 'record' type that encapsulates ref, log,
index and object records.
