feat: implement merged iterator across all levels with improved tombstone handling

- Remove redundant MergedIterator (was just an alias for HierarchicalIterator)
- Add IsTombstone method to all iterators to detect deletion markers
- Enhance tombstone tracking in compaction manager with preservation options
- Fix SSTable reader to properly handle tombstone entries
- Update engine tests to directly verify tombstone behavior
- Update TODO.md to mark merged iterator task as complete
