Merge branch 'kk/reftable-tombstone-quadratic-fix' into next

The performance of ref updates and reads using the 'reftable' backend in the presence of many deletion tombstone records has been optimized by removing the tombstone suppression flag from the merged iterator and instead skipping tombstones at higher-level call sites where iteration bounds are known. * kk/reftable-tombstone-quadratic-fix: reftable: fix quadratic behavior in the presence of tombstones t/perf: add perf test for ref tombstone scenarios
