In some places we need to sort reftable records by their keys to

logic is needlessly roundabout and can end up costing quite a bit fo CPU
cycles, both due to the allocation and formatting logic.

Introduce a new `reftable_record_cmp()` function that knows to compare
two records with each other without requiring allocations.

perhaps: s/knows to compare/knows how to compare/
