Summary:
Introduce BlockBasedTableOptions::index_shortening to give users control on which key shortening techniques to be used in building index blocks. Before this patch, both separators and successor keys where shortened in indexes. With this patch, the default is set to kShortenSeparators to only shorten the separators. Since each index block has many separators and only one successor (last key), the change should not have negative impact on index block size. However it should prevent many unnecessary block loads where due to approximation introduced by shorted successor, seek would land us to the previous block and then fix it by moving to the next one.
