opt(stream): add option to directly copy over tables from lower levels (#1700)

This PR adds FullCopy option in Stream. This allows sending the table entirely to the writer. If this option is set to true we directly copy over the tables from the last 2 levels. This option increases the stream speed while also lowering the memory consumption on the DB that is streaming the KVs.
For 71GB, compressed and encrypted DB we observed 3x improvement in speed. The DB contained ~65GB in the last 2 levels while remaining in the above levels.

To use this option, the following options should be set in Stream.

stream.KeyToList = nil
stream.ChooseKey = nil
stream.SinceTs = 0
db.managedTxns = true

If we use stream writer for receiving the KVs, the encryption mode has to be the same in sender and receiver. This will restrict db.StreamDB() to use the same encryption mode in both input and output DB. Added TODO for allowing different encryption modes.
