Ensure bitValuePointer flag is cleared for LSM entry values written to LSM (#1313)

When restoring a backup that was written with a lower `ValueThreshold`
to a DB instance with a higher `ValueThreshold`, some entry values
originally written to the value log in the backup DB will be written
to the LSM along with the key when restored to the new DB.

The `meta` field for those entries is not updated to reflect the
correct value storage state. Those entries still have the
`bitValuePointer` flag set.

That causes `iterator.prefetch` to fail while looking up the value
for those entries. This fix ensures the `meta` `bitValuePointer`
is cleared when entry values are stored in the LSM.

The original error can be reproduced by running the included
`TestLSMVPClear` test after reverting the line 687 `db.go` change
to clear the `bitValuePointer` flag.
