refs/heads/COUCHDB-3298-improve-couch-btree-chunkify from [~paul.joseph.davis]
[ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb-couch.git;h=8556adb ]
Make couch_btree:chunkify/1 prefer fewer chunks
This changes couch_btree:chunkify/1 to produce fewer larger chunks
rather than creating chunks of even-ish size.

> Improve couch_btree:chunkify logic

> Key: COUCHDB-3298

> Components: Database Core
> Reporter: Paul Joseph Davis
>
> The current chunkify has problems when reduce functions create large values
> in that it will produce chunks (ie, kp nodes) that contain a single key. In
> some pathological cases this can create long chains of nodes that never
> branch.
> The old chunkify would also try and create nodes with an even number of bytes
> in each chunk. Given that we don't re-use chunks it makes more sense to try
> and pack our chunks as close to the threshold as possible so that we're
> creating fewer branches in our tree.
