Elijah Conners c18eecbe5c reftable: use a pointer for pq_entry param
The speed of the merged_iter_pqueue_add() can be improved by using a
pointer to the pq_entry struct, which is 96 bytes. Since the pq_entry
param is worked directly on the stack and does not currently have a
pointer to it, the merged_iter_pqueue_add() function is slightly
slower.

References to pq_entry in reftable have typically included pointers,
such as both of the params for pq_less().

Since we are working with pointers in the pq_entry param, as keenly
pointed out, the pq_entry param has also been made into a const since
the contents of the pq_entry param are copied and not manipulated.

Han-Wen Nienhuys 66c0dabab5 reftable: make reftable_record a tagged union
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.

Han-Wen Nienhuys 1ae2b8cda8 reftable: add merged table view
This adds an abstract, read-only interface to the ref database.

This primitive is used to construct the read view of the ref database
(the read view is constructed by merging several *.ref files). It also
provides the mechanism to provide a unified view of the refs in the main
repository and the per-worktree refs.
