For a couple years now, Pebble has not allowed the creation of untruncated range tombstones outside the context of virtual sstables. Additionally, since v22.2 untruncated range tombstones should all have been compacted and rewritten as truncated range tombstones. Virtual SSTables (which similarly allow a physical range deletion to exceed the bounds of the containing logical sstable) handle this case by truncating the tombstones at iteration time in the iterator returned by keyspan.Truncate.
This leaves the merging iterator's delicate handling of untruncated range tombstones obsolete. This commit removes that complexity. In addition, as an extra safety precaution, the table stats collector's invariants-build assertion that range deletions are contained within their files' bounds is lifted into production builds as well. This provides a guarantee during store open that all tombstones are appropriately truncated.
Relates to #2863.
