reftable/record: decode keys in place

When reading a record from a block, we need to decode the record's key.
As reftable keys are prefix-compressed, meaning they reuse a prefix from
the preceding record's key, this is a bit more involved than just having
to copy the relevant bytes: we need to figure out the prefix and suffix
lengths, copy the prefix from the preceding record and finally copy the
suffix from the current record.

This is done by passing three buffers to `reftable_decode_key()`: one
buffer that holds the result, one buffer that holds the last key, and
one buffer that points to the current record. The final key is then
assembled by calling `strbuf_add()` twice to copy over the prefix and
suffix.

Performing two memory copies is inefficient though. And we can indeed do
better by decoding keys in place. Instead of providing two buffers, the
caller may only call a single buffer that is already pre-populated with
the last key. Like this, we only have to call `strbuf_setlen()` to trim
the record to its prefix and then `strbuf_add()` to add the suffix.

This refactoring leads to a noticeable performance bump when iterating
over 1 million refs:

  Benchmark 1: show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD~)
    Time (mean ± σ):     112.2 ms ±   3.9 ms    [User: 109.3 ms, System: 2.8 ms]
    Range (min … max):   109.2 ms … 149.6 ms    1000 runs

  Benchmark 2: show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD)
    Time (mean ± σ):     106.0 ms ±   3.5 ms    [User: 103.2 ms, System: 2.7 ms]
    Range (min … max):   103.2 ms … 133.7 ms    1000 runs

  Summary
    show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD) ran
      1.06 ± 0.05 times faster than show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD~)
