[HBASE-10944] Remove all kv.getBuffer() and kv.getRow() references existing in the code

• Type: Sub-task
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Critical
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Fix Version/s: 2.0.0-alpha-3, 2.0.0

Release Note

We wont't be removing KeyValue.getBuffer() afterall. Instead we will only expose it for tests so in this issue we un-deprecate getBuffer and add VisibleForTesting instead. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18795 for follow-on.

Description

kv.getRow() and kv.getBuffers() are still used in places to form key byte[] and row byte[]. Removing all such instances including testcases will make the usage of Cell complete.
