Unprobed, spilled partitions are now retained when performing a build-side
outer join (and still discarded in all other cases).
When these unprobed, spilled partitions are loaded by
`MutableHashTable.prepareNextPartition` we simply create an iterator over the
spilled segments which are read by the appropriate HashJoinIterator in a single
loop.
