John Naylor 0fe5f64367 Teach radix tree to embed values at runtime
Previously, the decision to store values in leaves or within the child
pointer was made at compile time, with variable length values using
leaves by necessity. This commit allows introspecting the length of
variable length values at runtime for that decision. This requires
the ability to tell whether the last-level child pointer is actually
a value, so we use a pointer tag in the lowest level bit.

Use this in TID store. This entails adding a byte to the header to
reserve space for the tag. Commit f35bd9bf3 stores up to three offsets
within the header with no bitmap, and now the header can be embedded
as above. This reduces worst-case memory usage when TIDs are sparse.
