      When truncating data from a file that has associated lookaside entries, the optimization to avoid reading pages in for fast truncate is not implemented - which results in reading a lot of pages in cache along with their lookaside entries (thus they will be read in as dirty). We could avoid reading those pages by checking the visbility in the WT_PAGE_LOOKASIDE structure.
