Summary:
When a write batch can't join a batch group due to the total
size of the contained batches, the write controller's GetDelay is passed
a size value that includes the rejected batch.

Summary:
This diff allows a Writer to join the next write batch group
without acquiring any locks. Waiting is performed via a per-Writer mutex,
so all of the non-leader writers never need to acquire the db mutex.
It is now possible to join a write batch group after the leader has been
chosen but before the batch has been constructed. This diff doesn't
increase parallelism, but reduces synchronization overheads.
For some CPU-bound workloads (no WAL, RAM-sized working set) this can
substantially reduce contention on the db mutex in a multi-threaded
environment. With T=8 N=500000 in a CPU-bound scenario (see the test
plan) this is good for a 33% perf win. Not all scenarios see such a
win, but none show a loss. This code is slightly faster even for the
single-threaded case (about 2% for the CPU-bound scenario below).
Test Plan:
1. unit tests
2. COMPILE_WITH_TSAN=1 make check
3. stress high-contention scenarios with db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -threads=$T -batch_size=1 -memtablerep=skip_list -value_size=0 --num=$N -level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=9999 -level0_stop_writes_trigger=9999 -disable_auto_compactions --max_write_buffer_number=8 -max_background_flushes=8 --disable_wal --write_buffer_size=160000000

Summary:
In one of our recent meetings, we discussed deprecating features that are not being actively used. One of those features, at least within Facebook, is timeout_hint. The feature is really nicely implemented, but if nobody needs it, we should remove it from our code-base (until we get a valid use-case). Some arguments:
* 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.
* Nobody is using the feature within Facebook's code-base. Googling for `timeout_hint_us` also doesn't yield any users.

Summary:
We slow down data into the database to the rate of options.delayed_write_rate (a new option) with this patch.
The thread synchronization approach I take is to still synchronize write controller by DB mutex and GetDelay() is inside DB mutex. Try to minimize the frequency of getting time in GetDelay(). I verified it through db_bench and it seems to work
hard_rate_limit is deprecated.
options.delayed_write_rate is still not dynamically changeable. Need to work on it as a follow-up.
Test Plan: Add new unit tests in db_test

Summary: Optimistic transactions supporting begin/commit/rollback semantics. Currently relies on checking the memtable to determine if there are any collisions at commit time. Not yet implemented would be a way of enuring the memtable has some minimum amount of history so that we won't fail to commit when the memtable is empty. You should probably start with transaction.h to get an overview of what is currently supported.
Test Plan: Added a new test, but still need to look into stress testing.

Summary: This diff just moves the write thread control out of the DBImpl. I will need this as I will control column family data concurrency by only accessing some data in the write thread. That way, we won't have to lock our accesses to column family hash table (mappings from IDs to CFDs).
