Add a new `tombstone` format to the persistence layer so we can delete
key-value pairs out of MultiValued tables

This is in service of the upcoming GC support, but also fills a basic
API gap in the db.

To delete a key-value-pair you need to call `value_delete` and currently
the values are limited to only those that are able to be stored inline
in key blocks. This is a non-trivial limitation but it fits our current
usecase, and makes the compaction/query algorithms a bit simpler (don't
need to 'resolve' values)

One non-trivial complexity was maintaining the 'FixedLayout' block
optimization for a mix of tombstones and values, so now we support a
slightly different mode where all keys have the same length but possibly
different types.

Finally, this branch solves a problem with deleting tombstones.
Tombstones 'shadow' older values and allow us to drop them during
compaction. With GC getting ready to start writing tombstones the risk
becomes 'when can we delete a tombstone! This is solved
probabilistically using the amqf filters, during compaction we drop
tombstones if they could not possibly match anything in an older SST.
Without this, tombstones in the TaskCache table would fill up over time.
