Description

Right now we will encode tags always with prefix tree encoding. With other encoders it checks HCD#shouldCompressTags(). Suggest we can do the same fro PrefixTree also.

I can see some places PrefixTree impl passes booleans like isIncludeMvcc isIncludeTags etc. We have encapsulated all such info into a HFileContext and the code path uses that now. We can do the same with PrefixTree code path also.
