ring-buffer: move some metadata into buffer page

Impact: get ready for splice changes

This patch moves the commit and timestamp into the beginning of each
data page of the buffer. This change will allow the page to be moved
to another location (disk, network, etc) and still have information
in the page to be able to read it.
