[tools] KUDU-1945 Print auto-incrementing counter in kudu wal dump
This patch allows the "kudu wal dump" tool to display auto-incrementing
counter value if present in the WAL segment. It displays the counter
value present in each INSERT/INSERT_IGNORE replicate op and also populates
the corresponding auto incrementing column values for each row when
printing rows.

> Support generation of surrogate primary keys (or tables with no PK)
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KUDU-1945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1945
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client, master, tablet
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Major
> Labels: roadmap-candidate
>
> Many use cases have data where there is no "natural" primary key. For
> example, a web log use case mostly cares about partitioning and not about
> precise sorting by timestamp, and timestamps themselves are not necessarily
> unique. Rather than forcing users to come up with their own surrogate primary
> keys, Kudu should support some kind of "auto_increment" equivalent which
> generates primary keys on insertion. Alternatively, Kudu could support tables
> which are partitioned but not internally sorted.
> The advantages would be:
> - Kudu can pick primary keys on insertion to guarantee that there is no
> compaction required on the table (eg always assign a new key higher than any
> existing key in the local tablet). This can improve write throughput
> substantially, especially compared to naive PK generation schemes that a user
> might pick such as UUID, which would generate a uniform random-insert
> workload (worst case for performance)
> - Make Kudu easier to use for such use cases (no extra client code necessary)
