While users of the reftable library wouldn't generally require access to
individual blocks in a reftable table, there are valid usecases where
one may require low-level access to them. One such upcoming usecase in
the Git codebase is to implement consistency checks for the reftable
library where we want to verify each block individually.
Create a public interface for reading blocks. The interface isn't yet
complete and lacks e.g. a way to read individual records from a block.
Such missing functionality will be backfilled in subsequent commits.
Note that this change also requires us to expose `reftable_buf`, which
is used by the `reftable_block_first_key()` function.

The license headers used across the reftable library doesn't follow our
typical coding style for multi-line comments. Fix it.

We include "hash.h" in "reftable/system.h" such that we can use hash
format IDs as well as the raw size of SHA1 and SHA256. As we are in the
process of converting the reftable library to become standalone we of
course cannot rely on those constants anymore.
Introduce a new `enum reftable_hash` to replace internal uses of the
hash format IDs and new constants that replace internal uses of the hash
size. Adapt the reftable backend to set up the correct hash function.

The split between "basics" and "publicbasics" is somewhat arbitrary and
not in line with how we typically structure code in the reftable
library. While we do indeed split up headers into a public and internal
part, we don't do that for the compilation unit itself. Furthermore, the
declarations for "publicbasics.c" are in "reftable-malloc.h", which
isn't in line with our naming schema, either.
Fix these inconsistencies by:
- Merging "publicbasics.c" into "basics.c".
- Renaming "reftable-malloc.h" to "reftable-basics.h" as the public
header.
