Summary: Now if inserting to mem table is much faster than writing to files, there is no mechanism users can rely on to avoid stopping for reaching options.max_write_buffer_number. With the commit, if there are more than four maximum write buffers configured, we slow down to the rate of options.delayed_write_rate while we reach the last one.
Test Plan:
1. Add a new unit test.
2. Run db_bench with
./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom --num=10000000 --max_background_flushes=6 --batch_size=32 -max_write_buffer_number=4 --delayed_write_rate=500000 --statistics
based on hard drive and see stopping is avoided with the commit.

ReadOptions::pin_data : If true keep loaded blocks in memory as long as the iterator is not deleted
Iterator::IsKeyPinned() : If true, this mean that the Slice returned by key() is valid as long as the iterator is not deleted
Also add a new option BlockBasedTableOptions::use_delta_encoding to allow users to disable delta_encoding if needed.

Summary:
This diff provides a framework for doing manual
compactions in parallel with other compactions. We now have a deque of manual compactions. We also pass manual compactions as an argument from RunManualCompactions down to
BackgroundCompactions, so that RunManualCompactions can be reentrant.
Parallelism is controlled by the two routines
ConflictingManualCompaction to allow/disallow new parallel/manual
compactions based on already existing ManualCompactions. In this diff, by default manual compactions still have to run exclusive of other compactions. However, by setting the compaction option, exclusive_manual_compaction to false, it is possible to run other compactions in parallel with a manual compaction. However, we are still restricted to one manual compaction per column family at a time. All of these restrictions will be relaxed in future diffs.
I will be adding more tests later.

Summary:
Currently, transactions can fail even if there is no actual write conflict. This is due to relying on only the memtables to check for write-conflicts. Users have to tune memtable settings to try to avoid this, but it's hard to figure out exactly how to tune these settings.
With this diff, TransactionDB will use both memtables and SST files to determine if there are any write conflicts. This relies on the fact that BlockBasedTable stores sequence numbers for all writes that happen after any open snapshot. Also, D50295 is needed to prevent SingleDelete from disappearing writes (the TODOs in this test code will be fixed once the other diff is approved and merged).
Note that Optimistic transactions will still rely on tuning memtable settings as we do not want to read from SST while on the write thread. Also, memtable settings can still be used to reduce how often TransactionDB needs to read SST files.

Summary:
Up to this point, the subcompactions that make up a compaction
job have been divided based on the key range of the L1 files, and each
subcompaction has handled the key range of only one file. However
DBOption.max_subcompactions allows the user to designate how many
subcompactions at most to perform. This patch updates the
CompactionJob::GetSubcompactionBoundaries() to determine these
divisions accordingly based on that option and other input/system factors.
The current approach orders the starting and/or ending keys of certain
compaction input files and then generates a histogram to approximate the
size covered by the key range between each consecutive pair of keys. Then
it groups these ranges into groups so that the sizes are approximately equal
to one another. The approach has also been adapted to work for universal
compaction as well instead of just for level-based compaction as it was before.
These subcompactions are then executed in parallel by locally spawning
threads, one for each. The results are then aggregated and the compaction
completed.

Summary:
As of now compactions involving files from Level 0 and Level 1 are single
threaded because the files in L0, although sorted, are not range partitioned like
the other levels. This means that during L0-L1 compaction each file from L1
needs to be merged with potentially all the files from L0.
This attempt to parallelize the L0-L1 compaction assigns a thread and a
corresponding iterator to each L1 file that then considers only the key range
found in that L1 file and only the L0 files that have those keys (and only the
specific portion of those L0 files in which those keys are found). In this way
the overlap is minimized and potentially eliminated between different iterators
focusing on the same files.
The first step is to restructure the compaction logic to break L0-L1 compactions
into multiple, smaller, sequential compactions. Eventually each of these smaller
jobs will be run simultaneously. Areas to pay extra attention to are
# Correct aggregation of compaction job statistics across multiple threads
# Proper opening/closing of output files (make sure each thread's is unique)
# Keys that span multiple L1 files
# Skewed distributions of keys within L0 files

This is making our code a bit more complicated. By not supporting this use-case we can make our code simpler.

* Less code == better icache hit rate, smaller builds, simpler code
* The motivation for adding timeout_hint_us was to work-around RocksDB's stall issue. However, we're currently addressing the stall issue itself (see @sdong's recent work on stall write_rate), so we should never see sharp lock-ups in the future.
