IMPALA-10127: Fix performance for enforcement of lirs_tombstone_multiple

When enforcing lirs_tombstone_multiple for the LIRS cache,
currently it needs to walk backwards through the recency
list to find the oldest tombstone entry to remove it.
This traversal can involve passing a large number of
non-tombstone entries. In pathological cases, it is
O(N) where N is the number of entries in the cache.

This modifies the LIRS implementation to use a combined
unprotected and tombstone list. The first half of the
list is unprotected entries. The second half is tombstone
entries. The tombstone portion of the list allows the
enforcement for the lirs_tombstone_multiple to be O(1)
when finding the oldest tombstone entry.

The unprotected half of the list operates as it did
before, except that the combined list requires maintaining
a pointer to the front of the unprotected list (i.e. the
boundary between the unprotected portion and the tombstone
portion).

Using a combined list means that evicting an unprotected
entry to become a tombstone entry is only updating a
pointer. This is a common operation, so it keeps the
overhead of the tombstone list low.

Performance:
For all existing performance test cases in cache-bench,
lookups/sec are within 2% of the current implementation of LIRS.

This adds a new pathalogical case to cache-bench where
the cache hit rate is 0.2%. This causes extensive use
of the lirs_tombstone_multiple. This case sees a 2000x
improvement, going from 1.3K lookups/sec to 2.96M lookups/sec.

Testing:
 - lirs-cache-test passes (debug and release)
 - This also adds the DATA_CACHE_EVICTION_POLICY environment
   variable to run-all-tests.sh to allow easy testing with LIRS.
 - Ran a core job with 500MB cache using LIRS
