John Spray 3379cbcaa4 pageserver: add CompactKey, use it in InMemoryLayer (#8652)
## Problem

This follows a PR that insists all input keys are representable in 16
bytes:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8648

& a PR that prevents postgres from sending us keys that use the high
bits of field2:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8657

Motivation for this change:
1. Ingest is bottlenecked on CPU
2. InMemoryLayer can create huge (~1M value) BTreeMap<Key,_> for its
index.
3. Maps over i128 are much faster than maps over an arbitrary 18 byte
struct.

It may still be worthwhile to make the index two-tier to optimize for
the case where only the last 4 bytes (blkno) of the key vary frequently,
but simply using the i128 representation of keys has a big impact for
very little effort.

Related: #8452 

## Summary of changes

- Introduce `CompactKey` type which contains an i128
- Use this instead of Key in InMemoryLayer's index, converting back and
forth as needed.

## Performance

All the small-value `bench_ingest` cases show improved throughput.

The one that exercises this index most directly shows a 35% throughput
increase:

```
ingest-small-values/ingest 128MB/100b seq, no delta
                        time:   [374.29 ms 378.56 ms 383.38 ms]
                        thrpt:  [333.88 MiB/s 338.13 MiB/s 341.98 MiB/s]
                 change:
                        time:   [-26.993% -26.117% -25.111%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05)
                        thrpt:  [+33.531% +35.349% +36.974%]
                        Performance has improved.
