ASTERIXDB-1102: VarSize Encoding to store length of String and ByteArray
This patch is to change the encoding format that stores the length value of
the variable length type (e.g. String, ByteArray) from fix-size encoding
(2bytes) to variable-size encoding ( 1 to 5bytes)
It will solve the issue 1102 to enable us to store a String that longer
than 64K. Also for the common case of storing the short string ( <=
127), it will save one byte per string.
Some important changes include:
1. Add one hyracks-util package to consolidate all the hyracks
independent utility functions. It will reduce the chances of having
duplicate utils in different packages.
2. Move parts of Asterix string functions down to Hyracks
UTF8StringPointable object, which will benefit the other dependencies,
such as VXQuery.
