Remove assumption that Key to Token is one-to-one
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1034
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1034
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Stu Hood


get_range_slices assumes that Tokens do not collide and converts a KeyRange to 
an AbstractBounds. For RandomPartitioner, this assumption isn't safe, and would 
lead to a very weird heisenberg.

Converting AbstractBounds to use a DecoratedKey would solve this, because the 
byte[] key portion of the DecoratedKey can act as a tiebreaker. Alternatively, 
we could make DecoratedKey extend Token, and then use DecoratedKeys in places 
where collisions are unacceptable.
