Change hfile scanner seek to find wanted key or the one AFTER rather than 
BEFORE as it currently does
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1764
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1764
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: stack
             Fix For: 0.21.0


Working on new getClosestAtOrBefore in HBASE-1761, the way hfile scanner works 
where it gets the asked for key or the one just before makes for our doing more 
work than we should.   See the code in Store where we want to get to first 
element in row.  We have to go to the row before and then walk forward skipping 
the item that is in row before.

Consider flipping catalog tables to be regions by end-key rather than start-key 
at same time (RE: conversation had on the saturday night at the SUSF hackathon).
