Now that reftable blocks can be read individually via the public
interface it becomes necessary for callers to be able to distinguish the
different types of blocks. Expose the relevant constants.

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

When auto-compacting, the reftable library packs references such that
the sizes of the tables form a geometric sequence. The factor for this
geometric sequence is hardcoded to 2 right now. We're about to expose
this as a config option though, so let's expose the factor via write
options.

The reftable format is structured as a sequence of blocks, and each block
contains a sequence of prefix-compressed key-value records. There are 4 types of
records, and they have similarities in how they must be handled. This is
achieved by introducing a polymorphic 'record' type that encapsulates ref, log,
index and object records.
