Merge lp:~pbeaman/akiban-persistit/buffer-pool-warmup-sorted into lp:akiban-persistit

[Peter Beaman]

This proposal is a re-work of the original buffer pool warm-up code. Instead of creating a text file, this version stores the inventory in the system volume. It also loads pages in file-address order to reduce I/O time. There is a new stress test that pushes this into a medium-sized buffer pool (25K pages) but we still need to test it with a 1M page pool in TPCC or some other big test.

There are two config options, one to turn on inventory recording and the other to enable pre-loading pages. They are separate so that a server can start up without waiting for the pre-load but still be set to perform the inventory function.

Other changes include Configuration, Configuration.rst (documentation), etc.

Merge from release-notes-3.16

[Nathan Williams (nwilliams)]

This has a pre-req of the reformatting, but it doesn't look to have kicked in.

Could you try resubmitting? If that doesn't work then I'll do the diff manually for review.
