Expose translation mvcc (FeatureBaseDB#2381)

* expose Transaction on TranslateStore for DAX Snapshotting

* try to fix ramdisk nonsense

apparently, we were running in either a shell env or docker env
randomly, so this could sometimes pass and sometimes fail since the
shell env had the ramdisk set up and docker didn't.

Now we force to run in docker always and set up ramdisk explicitly.

* ramdisk mount should be defined on gitlab runner config now

* debug ramdisk issue?

* fix tests... and a buncha other stuff

Took retry out of CI config because I think it's doing more harm than
good at this point.

The executor test I modified failed when I changed DefaultPartitionN
to 8, but just because stuff was out of order so I made it more
robust.

I edited some data gen stuff to make shorter lines because it was
making grep results unusable.

the actual fix is in translate_boltdb_test.go

* clean up, fix code review feedback
