Rethinking serializable multiversion concurrency control

Summary: BOHM: a serializable MVCC for in-memory, multi-core DBs that ensures reads never block writes while preserving full serializability. It avoids read-side bookkeeping and validation, instead using a pessimistic protocol to scale with contention and dramatically outperform prior MVCC systems.
