* Add basic initial developer docs for TSDB
There's a decent amount of content already out there (blog posts,
conference talks, etc), but:
* when they get stale, they don't tend to get updated
* they still leave me with questions that I'ld like to answer
for developers (like me) who want to use, or work with, TSDB
What I propose is developer docs inside the prometheus
repository. Easy to find and harness the power of the community
to expand it and keep it up to date.
* perfect is the enemy of good. Let's have a base and incrementally improve
* Markdown docs should be broad but not too deep. Source code comments
can complement them, and are the ideal place for implementation details.

* TSDB: demistify seriesRefs and ChunkRefs
The TSDB package contains many types of series and chunk references,
all shrouded in uint types. Often the same uint value may
actually mean one of different types, in non-obvious ways.
This PR aims to clarify the code and help navigating to relevant docs,
usage, etc much quicker.
Concretely:
* Use appropriately named types and document their semantics and
relations.
* Make multiplexing and demuxing of types explicit
(on the boundaries between concrete implementations and generic
interfaces).
* Casting between different types should be free. None of the changes
should have any impact on how the code runs.

* Use dedicated Ref type
Throughout the code base, there are reference types masked as
regular integers. Let's use dedicated types. They are
equivalent, but clearer semantically.
This also makes it trivial to find where they are used,
and from uses, find the centralized docs.

NOTE: Potentially I would rename package to merrors. (: In different PR.

When appending to the head and a chunk is full it is flushed to the disk and m-mapped (memory mapped) to free up memory
Prom startup now happens in these stages
- Iterate the m-maped chunks from disk and keep a map of series reference to its slice of mmapped chunks.
- Iterate the WAL as usual. Whenever we create a new series, look for it's mmapped chunks in the map created before and add it to that series.
If a head chunk is corrupted the currpted one and all chunks after that are deleted and the data after the corruption is recovered from the existing WAL which means that a corruption in m-mapped files results in NO data loss.
[Mmaped chunks format](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/tsdb/docs/format/head_chunks.md) - main difference is that the chunk for mmaping now also includes series reference because there is no index for mapping series to chunks.
[The block chunks](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/tsdb/docs/format/chunks.md) are accessed from the index which includes the offsets for the chunks in the chunks file - example - chunks of series ID have offsets 200, 500 etc in the chunk files.
In case of mmaped chunks, the offsets are stored in memory and accessed from that. During WAL replay, these offsets are restored by iterating all m-mapped chunks as stated above by matching the series id present in the chunk header and offset of that chunk in that file.
**Prombench results**
_WAL Replay_
1h Wal reply time
30% less wal reply time - 4m31 vs 3m36
2h Wal reply time
20% less wal reply time - 8m16 vs 7m
_Memory During WAL Replay_
High Churn:
10-15% less RAM - 32gb vs 28gb
20% less RAM after compaction 34gb vs 27gb
No Churn:
20-30% less RAM - 23gb vs 18gb
40% less RAM after compaction 32.5gb vs 20gb
