This is an alternative implemetation to "Compression".
The idea is that we can persist the Position info, that can be huge, in multiple smaller BK entries.
The format is simple: in case of chunking we write all the entries and then a JSON footer.
During recover we read the footer and the previous N entries.
This patch is the initial part of the work, because we have to handle recovery of the case in which the broker crashes while writing the entries.
In this case we have to scan the ledger backward until we find a well-formed entry or a new "footer"
