Summary:
Added a flag, `ignore_unknown_options`, to skip unknown options when loading an options file (using `LoadLatestOptions`/`LoadOptionsFromFile`) or while verifying options (using `CheckOptionsCompatibility`). This will help in downgrading the db to an older version.
Also added `--ignore_unknown_options` flag to ldb
**Example Use case:**
In MyRocks, if copying from newer version to older version, it is often impossible to start because of new RocksDB options that don't exist in older version, even though data format is compatible.
MyRocks uses these load and verify functions in [ha_rocksdb.cc::check_rocksdb_options_compatibility](e004fd9f41/storage/rocksdb/ha_rocksdb.cc (L3348-L3401)).
**Test Plan:**
Updated the unit tests.
`make check`
ldb:
$ ./ldb --db=/tmp/test_db --create_if_missing put a1 b1
OK
Now edit /tmp/test_db/<OPTIONS-file> and add an unknown option.
Try loading the options now, and it fails:
$ ./ldb --db=/tmp/test_db --try_load_options get a1
Failed: Invalid argument: Unrecognized option DBOptions:: abcd
Passes with the new --ignore_unknown_options flag
$ ./ldb --db=/tmp/test_db --try_load_options --ignore_unknown_options get a1
b1

Summary:
- `max_background_flushes` and `max_background_compactions` are still supported for backwards compatibility
- `base_background_compactions` is completely deprecated. Now we just throttle to one background compaction when there's no pressure.
- `max_background_jobs` is added to automatically partition the concurrent background jobs into flushes vs compactions. Currently it's very simple as we just allocate one-fourth of the jobs to flushes, and the remaining can be used for compactions.
- The test cases that set `base_background_compactions > 1` needed to be updated. I just grab the pressure token such that the desired number of compactions can be scheduled.

Summary:
Replace Options::use_direct_writes with Options::use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction
Now if Options::use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction = true, we will enable direct io for both reads and writes for flush and compaction job. Whereas Options::use_direct_reads controls user reads like iterator and Get().

Summary:
This is an effort to club all string related utility functions into one common place, in string_util, so that it is easier for everyone to know what string processing functions are available. Right now they seem to be spread out across multiple modules, like logging and options_helper.
