Summary:
This PR adds support for writing a location identifier of the DB host to SST files as a table property. By default, the hostname is used, but can be overridden by the user. There have been some recent corruptions in files written by ```SstFileWriter``` before checksumming, so this property can be used to trace it back to the writing host and checking the host for hardware isues.

Summary:
`db_id` and `db_session_id` are now part of the table properties for all formats and stored in SST files. This adds about 99 bytes to each new SST file.
The `TablePropertiesNames` for these two identifiers are `rocksdb.creating.db.identity` and `rocksdb.creating.session.identity`.
In addition, SST files generated from SstFileWriter and Repairer have DB identity “SST Writer” and “DB Repairer”, respectively. Their DB session IDs are generated in the same way as `DB::GetDbSessionId`.
A table property test is added.

Summary:
Introducing Periodic Compactions.
This feature allows all the files in a CF to be periodically compacted. It could help in catching any corruptions that could creep into the DB proactively as every file is constantly getting re-compacted. And also, of course, it helps to cleanup data older than certain threshold.
- Introduced a new option `periodic_compaction_time` to control how long a file can live without being compacted in a CF.
- This works across all levels.
- The files are put in the same level after going through the compaction. (Related files in the same level are picked up as `ExpandInputstoCleanCut` is used).
- Compaction filters, if any, are invoked as usual.
- A new table property, `file_creation_time`, is introduced to implement this feature. This property is set to the time at which the SST file was created (and that time is given by the underlying Env/OS).
This feature can be enabled on its own, or in conjunction with `ttl`. It is possible to set a different time threshold for the bottom level when used in conjunction with ttl. Since `ttl` works only on 0 to last but one levels, you could set `ttl` to, say, 1 day, and `periodic_compaction_time` to, say, 7 days. Since `ttl < periodic_compaction_time` all files in last but one levels keep getting picked up based on ttl, and almost never based on periodic_compaction_time. The files in the bottom level get picked up for compaction based on `periodic_compaction_time`.

Summary:
Since we are planning to use dictionary compression and to use different compression level, it is quite useful to add compression options to TableProperties. For example, in MyRocks, if the feature is available, we can query from information_schema.rocksdb_sst_props to see if all sst files are converted to ZSTD dictionary compressions. Resolves https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/4992
With this PR, user can query table properties through `GetPropertiesOfAllTables` API and get compression options as std::string:
`window_bits=-14; level=32767; strategy=0; max_dict_bytes=0; zstd_max_train_bytes=0; enabled=0;`
or table_properties->ToString() will also contain it

Summary:
Since the number of range deletions are reported in
TableProperties, it is confusing to not report the number of merge
operands and point deletions as top-level properties; they are
accessible through the public API, but since they are not the "main"
properties, they do not appear in aggregated table properties, or the
string representation of table properties.
This change promotes those two property keys to
`rocksdb/table_properties.h`, adds corresponding uint64 members for
them, deprecates the old access methods `GetDeletedKeys()` and
`GetMergeOperands()` (though they are still usable for now), and removes
`InternalKeyPropertiesCollector`. The property key strings are the same
as before this change, so this should be able to read DBs written from older
versions (though I haven't tested this yet).

Summary:
Given that index value is a BlockHandle, which is basically an <offset, size> pair we can apply delta encoding on the values. The first value at each index restart interval encoded the full BlockHandle but the rest encode only the size. Refer to IndexBlockIter::DecodeCurrentValue for the detail of the encoding. This reduces the index size which helps using the block cache more efficiently. The feature is enabled with using format_version 4.
The feature comes with a bit of cpu overhead which should be paid back by the higher cache hits due to smaller index block size.
Results with sysbench read-only using 4k blocks and using 16 index restart interval:

Summary:
Index blocks have the same format as data blocks. The keys therefore similarly to the keys in the data blocks are internal keys, which means that in addition to the user key it also has 8 bytes that encodes sequence number and value type. This extra 8 bytes however is not necessary in index blocks since the index keys act as an separator between two data blocks. The only exception is when the last key of a block and the first key of the next block share the same user key, in which the sequence number is required to act as a separator.
The patch excludes the sequence from index keys only if the above special case does not happen for any of the index keys. It then records that in the property block. The reader looks at the property block to see if it should expect sequence numbers in the keys of the index block.s

Summary:
Introducing FIFO compactions with TTL.
FIFO compaction is based on size only which makes it tricky to enable in production as use cases can have organic growth. A user requested an option to drop files based on the time of their creation instead of the total size.
To address that request:
- Added a new TTL option to FIFO compaction options.
- Updated FIFO compaction score to take TTL into consideration.
- Added a new table property, creation_time, to keep track of when the SST file is created.
- Creation_time is set as below:
- On Flush: Set to the time of flush.
- On Compaction: Set to the max creation_time of all the files involved in the compaction.
- On Repair and Recovery: Set to the time of repair/recovery.
- Old files created prior to this code change will have a creation_time of 0.
- FIFO compaction with TTL is enabled when ttl > 0. All files older than ttl will be deleted during compaction. i.e. `if (file.creation_time < (current_time - ttl)) then delete(file)`. This will enable cases where you might want to delete all files older than, say, 1 day.
- FIFO compaction will fall back to the prior way of deleting files based on size if:
- the creation_time of all files involved in compaction is 0.
- the total size (of all SST files combined) does not drop below `compaction_options_fifo.max_table_files_size` even if the files older than ttl are deleted.
This feature is not supported if max_open_files != -1 or with table formats other than Block-based.
**Test Plan:**
Added tests.

Summary:
This handles two issues: (1) range deletion iterator sometimes outlives
the table reader that created it, in which case the block must not be destroyed
during table reader destruction; and (2) we prefer to read these range tombstone
meta-blocks from file fewer times.
- Extracted cache-populating logic from NewDataBlockIterator() into a separate function: MaybeLoadDataBlockToCache()
- Use MaybeLoadDataBlockToCache() to load range deletion meta-block and pin it through the reader's lifetime. This code reuse works since range deletion meta-block has same format as data blocks.
- Use NewDataBlockIterator() to create range deletion iterators, which uses block cache if enabled, otherwise reads the block from file. Either way, the underlying block won't disappear until after the iterator is destroyed.

Summary:
This adds a new metablock containing a shared dictionary that is used
to compress all data blocks in the SST file. The size of the shared dictionary
is configurable in CompressionOptions and defaults to 0. It's currently only
used for zlib/lz4/lz4hc, but the block will be stored in the SST regardless of
the compression type if the user chooses a nonzero dictionary size.
During compaction, computes the dictionary by randomly sampling the first
output file in each subcompaction. It pre-computes the intervals to sample
by assuming the output file will have the maximum allowable length. In case
the file is smaller, some of the pre-computed sampling intervals can be beyond
end-of-file, in which case we skip over those samples and the dictionary will
be a bit smaller. After the dictionary is generated using the first file in a
subcompaction, it is loaded into the compression library before writing each
block in each subsequent file of that subcompaction.
On the read path, gets the dictionary from the metablock, if it exists. Then,
loads that dictionary into the compression library before reading each block.
