Summary:
With memkind installed, either on a non-fb machine or using `ROCKSDB_NO_FBCODE=1`.
```
ROCKSDB_NO_FBCODE=1 make static_lib
```
Compilation failed due to unused variable warning treated as error. To bypass this, we need to
disable warning-as-error, which is not ideal.

Test Plan: Repeat the above command, and rely on CI.

Summary:
- Make MemoryAllocator and its implementations into a Customizable class.
- Added a "DefaultMemoryAllocator" which uses new and delete
- Added a "CountedMemoryAllocator" that counts the number of allocs and free
- Updated the existing tests to use these new allocators
- Changed the memkind allocator test into a generic test that can test the various allocators.
- Added tests for creating all of the allocators
- Added tests to verify/create the JemallocNodumpAllocator using its options.

Summary:
* Don't hardcode namespace rocksdb (use ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE)
* Don't #include <rocksdb/...> (use double quotes)
* Support putting NOCOMMIT (any case) in source code that should not be
committed/pushed in current state.
These will be run with `make check` and in GitHub actions

Summary:
New memory technologies are being developed by various hardware vendors (Intel DCPMM is one such technology currently available). These new memory types require different libraries for allocation and management (such as PMDK and memkind). The high capacities available make it possible to provision large caches (up to several TBs in size), beyond what is achievable with DRAM.
The new allocator provided in this PR uses the memkind library to allocate memory on different media.
**Performance**
We tested the new allocator using db_bench.
- For each test, we vary the size of the block cache (relative to the size of the uncompressed data in the database).
- The database is filled sequentially. Throughput is then measured with a readrandom benchmark.
- We use a uniform distribution as a worst-case scenario.
The plot shows throughput (ops/s) relative to a configuration with no block cache and default allocator.
For all tests, p99 latency is below 500 us.
**Changes**
- Add MemkindKmemAllocator
- Add --use_cache_memkind_kmem_allocator db_bench option (to create an LRU block cache with the new allocator)
- Add detection of memkind library with KMEM DAX support
- Add test for MemkindKmemAllocator
**Minimum Requirements**
- kernel 5.3.12
- ndctl v67 - https://github.com/pmem/ndctl
- memkind v1.10.0 - https://github.com/memkind/memkind
**Memory Configuration**
The allocator uses the MEMKIND_DAX_KMEM memory kind. Follow the instructions on[ memkind’s GitHub page](https://github.com/memkind/memkind) to set up NVDIMM memory accordingly.
Note on memory allocation with NVDIMM memory exposed as system memory.
- The MemkindKmemAllocator will only allocate from NVDIMM memory (using memkind_malloc with MEMKIND_DAX_KMEM kind).
- The default allocator is not restricted to RAM by default. Based on NUMA node latency, the kernel should allocate from local RAM preferentially, but it’s a kernel decision. numactl --preferred/--membind can be used to allocate preferentially/exclusively from the local RAM node.
**Usage**
When creating an LRU cache, pass a MemkindKmemAllocator object as argument.
For example (replace capacity with the desired value in bytes):
```
#include "rocksdb/cache.h"
#include "memory/memkind_kmem_allocator.h"
NewLRUCache(
capacity /*size_t*/,
6 /*cache_numshardbits*/,
false /*strict_capacity_limit*/,
false /*cache_high_pri_pool_ratio*/,
std::make_shared<MemkindKmemAllocator>());
```
Refer to [RocksDB’s block cache documentation](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Block-Cache) to assign the LRU cache as block cache for a database.
