PLP: Page Latch-free Shared-everything OLTP

Summary: PLP uses physiological partitioning (logical-only partitioning + MRBTree) to achieve page-latch-free access in shared-everything OLTP. Single-thread-per-page access and thread-private heap pages cut contention, enabling up to 40% and 18% speedups with 85% and 68% fewer critical sections versus baselines.
