CODE REVIEW
Integrated skiplist into B-PALM in an effort to increase performance when dealing with wider nodes. Over the standard B+ tree we show about a 3x increase in performance when doing bulk updates. A lot of that is now bottlenecked behind the random number generation, so we'll likely need to get a pool of generators in that package so hopefully we can increase availability. We are also getting caught behind the Compare call.
Not entirely thrilled with requiring a skip package interface in the PALM definition, so I'll probably do as @alexandercampbell-wf suggested and make a generic Comparator interface for the whole repo.
