Needed for non-blocking transactions: #52745.

Currently, a read with a synthetic timestamp does not pass the synthetic flag through the timestamp cache to conflicting writes. It should.

Fixes cockroachdb#57683.

Before this change, a read with a synthetic timestamp would not pass the
synthetic flag through the timestamp cache to conflicting writes. This
could cause issues where a write that was bumped by one of these future
timestamps would not notice that its write timestamp was now synthetic.

This change fixes this by propagating the synthetic flag through the
timestamp cache. We have to play a few tricks to make this efficient
around `sklPage.ratchetMaxTimestamp`, which attempts to keeping a
running maximum of the timestamps in a given skiplist using atomics. The
added complexity here is encapsulated in a new `ratchetingTime` type.

The testing around here is actually pretty solid. `TestIntervalSklConcurrency`
and `TestIntervalSklConcurrentVsSequential` both perform long series of
randomized operations and assert against ratchet inversions. This change adds
some randomization around synthetic timestamps to the tests and introduces
synthetic timestamps to the ratcheting policy (which wasn't otherwise necessary)
to get solid randomized test coverage.

This made encoding and decoding timestamp cache values slightly slower,
but on the order of nanoseconds.
