27d978b891 Simplify SHAMapItem construction:
The existing class offered several constructors which were mostly
unnecessary. This commit eliminates all existing constructors and
introduces a single new one, taking a `Slice`.

The internal buffer is switched from `std::vector` to `Buffer` to
save a minimum of 8 bytes (plus the buffer slack that is inherent
in `std::vector`) per SHAMapItem instance.

1bb294afbc Refactor and improve the SHAMap code:
This commit combines a number of cleanups, targeting both the
code structure and the code logic. Large changes include:

 - Using more strongly-typed classes for SHAMap nodes, instead of relying
   on runtime-time detection of class types. This change saves 16 bytes
   of memory per node.
 - Improving the interface of SHAMap::addGiveItem and SHAMap::addItem to
   avoid the need for passing two bool arguments.
 - Documenting the "copy-on-write" semantics that SHAMap uses to
   efficiently track changes in individual nodes.
 - Removing unused code and simplifying several APIs.
 - Improving function naming.
