Vinnie Falco 33c5f98824 NuDB: Performance improvements (RIPD-793,796):
This introduces changes in nudb to improve speed, reduce database size,
and enhance correctness. The most significant change is to store hashes
rather than entire keys in the key file. The output of the hash function
is reduced to 48 bits, and stored directly in buckets.

The API is also modified to introduce a Codec parameter allowing for
compression and decompression to be supported in the implementation
itself rather than callers.

THe data file no longer contains a salt, as the salt is applicable
only to the key and log files. This allows a data file to have multiple
key files with different salt values. To distinguish physical files
belonging to the same logical database, a new field UID is introduced.
The UID is a 64-bit random value generated once on creation and stored
in all three files.

Buckets are zero filled to the end of each block, this is a security
measure to prevent unintended contents of memory getting stored to
disk. NuDB offers the varint integer type, this is identical to
the varint described by Google.

* Add varint
* Add Codec template argument
* Add "api" convenience traits
* Store hash in buckets
* istream can throw short read errors
* Support std::uint8_t format in streams
* Make file classes part of the public interface
* Remove buffers pessimization, replace with buffer
* Consolidate creation utility functions to the same header
* Zero fill unused areas of buckets on disk
* More coverage and improvements to the recover test
* Fix file read/write to loop until all bytes processed
* Add verify_fast, faster verify for large databases

The database version number is incremented to 2; older databases can
no longer be opened and should be deleted.

Beast: An amazing cross platform library

Contains cross platform objects to do a variety of useful things. No external dependencies, no complicated build steps.

Things people need for building peer to peer, concurrent, cryptographic systems.

The hope is that this will replace the use of boost and other cumbersome jalopies.
