[PATCH v2 2/8] vinyl: update compact priority usual way on range split/coalesce

When a few ranges are coalesced, we "force" compaction of the resulting
range by raising its compaction priority to max (slice count). There's
actually no point in that, because as long as the shape of the resulting
LSM tree is OK, we don't need to do extra compaction work. Moreover, it
actually doesn't work if a new slice is added to the resulting range by
dump before it gets compacted, which is fairly likely, because then its
compaction priority will be recalculated as usual. So let's simply call
vy_range_update_compact_priority() for the resulting range.

When a range is split, the produced ranges will inherit its compaction
priority. This is actually incorrect, because range split may change the
shape of the tree so let's recalculate priority for each part the usual
way, i.e. by calling vy_range_update_compact_priority().

After this patch, there's this only place where we can update compaction
priority of a range - it's vy_range_update_compact_priority().
