// BlockBuilder generates blocks where keys are prefix-compressed:
//
// When we store a key, we drop the prefix shared with the previous
// string.  This helps reduce the space requirement significantly.
// Furthermore, once every K keys, we do not apply the prefix
// compression and store the entire key.  We call this a "restart
// point".  The tail end of the block stores the offsets of all of the
// restart points, and can be used to do a binary search when looking
// for a particular key.  Values are stored as-is (without compression)
// immediately following the corresponding key.
//
// An entry for a particular key-value pair has the form:
//     shared_bytes: varint32
//     unshared_bytes: varint32
//     value_length: varint32
//     key_delta: char[unshared_bytes]
//     value: char[value_length]
// shared_bytes == 0 for restart points.
//
// The trailer of the block has the form:
//     restarts: uint32[num_restarts]
//     num_restarts: uint32
// restarts[i] contains the offset within the block of the ith restart point.
