Patrick Steinhardt b8ca235ca5 reftable/merged: stop using generic tables in the merged table
The merged table provides access to a reftable stack by merging the
contents of those tables into a virtual table. These subtables are being
tracked via `struct reftable_table`, which is a generic interface for
accessing either a single reftable or a merged reftable. So in theory,
it would be possible for the merged table to merge together other merged
tables.

This is somewhat nonsensical though: we only ever set up a merged table
over normal reftables, and there is no reason to do otherwise. This
generic interface thus makes the code way harder to follow and reason
about than really necessary. The abstraction layer may also have an
impact on performance, even though the extra set of vtable function
calls probably doesn't really matter.

Refactor the merged tables to use a `struct reftable_reader` for each of
the subtables instead, which gives us direct access to the underlying
tables. Adjust names accordingly.
