mu_clsce.c:
	Coalesce two adjacent blocks in GVT
Description:
	Join the working block (say, block1) and its right sibling (say, block2).
	In addition it needs to change the key value of the ancestor block(s).
	Say we have structure:
		block1: a(50),a(51),...a(58),a(59)
		block2: a(60),a(61),...a(68),a(69)
	After coalesce we have,
		block1: a(50),a(51),...a(58),a(59),a(60),...a(65)
		block2: a(66),a(67),a(68),a(69)
	We need to modify blocks
		1. block1
		2. block2
		3. ancestor of block1, key value "^a(59)" instead of "^a(65)"
		4. ancestor of block2, if it is different than ancestor of block1

	Some convention in naming:
		1. curr_key is the gv_currkey, which is first key of working block
		2. curr_key at level 'levelp' is the record's key value at blk1ptr->h[levelp].curr_offset
		3. a 'real key' value means a non-* key value (data blocks always have real value)
		4. working block means blk1ptr->h[level].blk_num (working block)
		5. rtsib block means blk2ptr->h[level].blk_num
		6. sz = size means uncompressed size of a key
		   len = length means compressed size of a key
