Commit ff9fb7112ee5250af01e1b38c8cfa9caed152ae7 in couchdb-couch's branch

Ensure multi-item chunks in couch_btree:chunkify/1
If the last element of a chunk has a huge reduction it was possible to
return a btree node that had a single key. This prevents the edge case
by forcing it into the previous chunk. Without this we can end up with a
case where a path in the tree can extend for many levels with only a
single key in each node.

> Improve couch_btree:chunkify logic

> 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.
