[PATCH v3 11/11] reftable/block: reuse buffer to compute record keys

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@xxxxxx>]

When iterating over entries in the block iterator we compute the key of
each of the entries and write it into a buffer. We do not reuse the
buffer though and thus re-allocate it on every iteration, which is
wasteful.

Refactor the code to reuse the buffer.
