The reftable format is usually used with files for storage. However, we abstract
away this using the blocksource data structure. This has two advantages:
* log blocks are zlib compressed, and handling them is simplified if we can
discard byte segments from within the block layer.
* for unittests, it is useful to read and write in-memory. The blocksource
allows us to abstract the data away from on-disk files.
