[PATCH 0/8] Cleanups around index operations

I've taken a professional interest in the index lately, and I've been trying mostly to learn about it and measure different operations. Along the way, I've seen some possible improvements in documentation, behavior, and tracing.

This series collects most of my thoughts so far, including:

 1. Adding extra trace2 regions and statistics (similar to [1]) (Patches
    1-5).
 2. Update documentation about the cached tree extension (Patches 6-7).
 3. Removing an unnecessary loop from verify_cache() (Patch 8).

Thanks, -Stolee
