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

Also takes a bug fix from PR #1712, commit 58d0674

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.
