Summary:
Based on my recent findings (posted in our internal group), if we use fallocate without KEEP_SIZE flag, we get superior performance of fdatasync() in append-only workloads.
This diff provides an option for user to not use KEEP_SIZE flag, thus optimizing his sync performance by up to 2x-3x.
At one point we also just called posix_fallocate instead of fallocate, which isn't very fast: http://code.woboq.org/userspace/glibc/sysdeps/posix/posix_fallocate.c.html (tl;dr it manually writes out zero bytes to allocate storage). This diff also fixes that, by first calling fallocate and then posix_fallocate if fallocate is not supported.

Original Summary:
Yesterday, @ljin and I were debugging various db_stress issues. We suspected one of them happens when we concurrently call NewIterator without prefix_seek on HashSkipList. This test demonstrates it.
Update:
Arena is not thread-safe!! When creating a new full iterator, we *have* to create a new arena, otherwise we're doomed.
Test Plan: SIGSEGV and assertion-throwing test now works!

This is is based on https://reviews.facebook.net/D15027. It's not finished but I would like to give a prototype to avoid arena over-allocation while making better use of the already allocated memory blocks.
Instead of check approximate memtable size, we will take a deeper look at the arena, which incorporate essential idea that @sdong suggests: flush when arena has allocated its last and the last is "almost full"

Summary:
@igor pointed out that there is a potential data race because of the way we use the newly introduced LogBuffer. After "bg_compaction_scheduled_--" or "bg_flush_scheduled_--", they can both become 0. As soon as the lock is released after that, DBImpl's deconstructor can go ahead and deconstruct all the states inside DB, including the info_log object hold in a shared pointer of the options object it keeps. At that point it is not safe anymore to continue using the info logger to write the delayed logs.
With the patch, lock is released temporarily for log buffer to be flushed before "bg_compaction_scheduled_--" or "bg_flush_scheduled_--". In order to make sure we don't miss any pending flush or compaction, a new flag bg_schedule_needed_ is added, which is set to be true if there is a pending flush or compaction but not scheduled because of the max thread limit. If the flag is set to be true, the scheduling function will be called before compaction or flush thread finishes.
Thanks @igor for this finding!

Summary:
(1) Fix SanitizeOptions() to also check HashLinkList. The current
dynamic case just happens to work because the 2 classes have the same
layout.
(2) Do not delete SliceTransform object in HashSkipListFactory and
HashLinkListFactory destructor. Reason: SanitizeOptions() enforces
prefix_extractor and SliceTransform to be the same object when
Hash**Factory is used. This makes the behavior strange: when
Hash**Factory is used, prefix_extractor will be released by RocksDB. If
other memtable factory is used, prefix_extractor should be released by
user.

Summary:
This diff does two things:
(1) Log::Reader does not report a corruption when the last record in a log or manifest file is truncated (meaning that log writer died in the middle of the write). Inherited the code from LevelDB: https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/detail?r=269fc6ca9416129248db5ca57050cd5d39d177c8#
(2) Turn off mmap writes for all writes to log and manifest files
(2) is necessary because if we use mmap writes, the last record is not truncated, but is actually filled with zeros, making checksum fail. It is hard to recover from checksum failing.
Test Plan:
Added unit tests from LevelDB
Actually recovered a "corrupted" MANIFEST file.

Clean shutdown took 7.2 seconds, while fast and dirty one took 6.3 seconds. Unfortunately, the speedup is not that big, but should be bigger with bigger block_cache. I have set up the capacity to 80GB, but the script filled up only ~7GB.
