[PATCH 01/25] vinyl: make point lookup always return the latest tuple version

[Vladimir Davydov]

Currently, vy_point_lookup(), in contrast to vy_read_iterator, doesn't
rescan the memory level after reading disk, so if the caller doesn't
track the key before calling this function, the caller won't be sent to
a read view in case the key gets updated during yield and hence will
be returned a stale tuple. This is OK now, because we always track the
key before calling vy_point_lookup(), either in the primary or in a
secondary index. However, for #2129 we need it to always return the
latest tuple version, no matter if the key is tracked or not.

The point is in the scope of #2129 we won't write DELETE statements to
secondary indexes corresponding to a tuple replaced in the primary
index. Instead after reading a tuple from a secondary index we will
check whether it matches the tuple corresponding to it in the primary
index: if it is not, it means that the tuple read from the secondary
index was overwritten and should be skipped. E.g. suppose we have the
primary index over the first field and a secondary index over the second
field and the following statements in the space:

  REPLACE{1, 10}
  REPLACE{1, 20}

Then reading {10} from the secondary index will return REPLACE{1, 10}, but
lookup of {1} in the primary index will return REPLACE{1, 20} which
doesn't match REPLACE{1, 10} read from the secondary index hence the
latter was overwritten and should be skipped.

The problem is in the example above we don't want to track key {1} in
the primary index before lookup, because we don't actually read its
value. So for the check to work correctly, we need the point lookup to
guarantee that the returned tuple is always the newest one. It's fairly
easy to do - we just need to rescan the memory level after yielding on
disk if its version changed.

Needed for #2129
