Create a SlicePredicate that starts at the given column name, selecting up to
{@link #MAX_COLS_BATCH_SIZE} columns.

@param startColName  Starting column name as a byte[].
@return              SlicePredicate that starts at the given column name,
open-ended, selecting up to {@link #MAX_COLS_BATCH_SIZE}
columns.
