Summary:
Reduce number of comparisons in heap by caching which child node in the first level is smallest (left_child or right_child)
So next time we can compare directly against the smallest child

I see that the total number of calls to comparator drops significantly when using this optimization

Before caching (~2mil key comparison for iterating the DB)
```
$ DEBUG_LEVEL=0 make db_bench -j64 && ./db_bench --benchmarks="readseq" --db="/dev/shm/heap_opt" --use_existing_db --disable_auto_compactions --cache_size=1000000000  --perf_level=2
readseq      :       0.338 micros/op 2959201 ops/sec;  327.4 MB/s user_key_comparison_count = 2000008
```
After caching (~1mil key comparison for iterating the DB)
```
$ DEBUG_LEVEL=0 make db_bench -j64 && ./db_bench --benchmarks="readseq" --db="/dev/shm/heap_opt" --use_existing_db --disable_auto_compactions --cache_size=1000000000 --perf_level=2
readseq      :       0.309 micros/op 3236801 ops/sec;  358.1 MB/s user_key_comparison_count = 1000011
```
