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.
