Summary:
Currently, when rocksdb tries to run manual compaction to refit data into a level,
there's a ReFitLevel() process that requires no bg work is currently running.
When RocksDB plans to ReFitLevel(), it will do the following:
1. pause scheduling new bg work.
2. wait until all bg work finished
3. do the ReFitLevel()
4. unpause scheduling new bg work.
However, as it pause scheduling new bg work at step one and waiting for all bg work
finished in step 2, RocksDB will stop flushing until all bg work is done (which
could take a long time.)
This patch fix this issue by changing the way ReFitLevel() pause the background work:
1. pause scheduling compaction.
2. wait until all bg work finished.
3. pause scheduling flush
4. do ReFitLevel()
5. unpause both flush and compaction.
The major difference is that. We only pause scheduling compaction in step 1 and wait
for all bg work finished in step 2. This prevent flush being blocked for a long time.
Although there's a very rare case that ReFitLevel() might be in starvation in step 2,
but it's less likely the case as flush typically finish very fast.
Test Plan: existing test.

Summary:
Before this diff, there were duplicated constants to refer to properties (user-
facing API had strings and InternalStats had an enum). I noticed these were
inconsistent in terms of which constants are provided, names of constants, and
documentation of constants. Overall it seemed annoying/error-prone to maintain
these duplicated constants.
So, this diff gets rid of InternalStats's constants and replaces them with a map
keyed on the user-facing constant. The value in that map contains a function
pointer to get the property value, so we don't need to do string matching while
holding db->mutex_. This approach has a side benefit of making many small
handler functions rather than a giant switch-statement.

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.

D50475 enables using SST files for transaction write-conflict checking. In order for this to work, we need to make sure not to compact out SingleDeletes when there is an earlier transaction snapshot(D50295). If there is a long-held snapshot, this could reduce the benefit of the SingleDelete optimization.
This diff allows Transactions to mark snapshots as being used for write-conflict checking. Then, during compaction, we will be able to optimize SingleDeletes better in the future.
This diff adds a flag to SnapshotImpl which is used by Transactions. This diff also passes the earliest write-conflict snapshot's sequence number to CompactionIterator. This diff does not actually change Compaction (after this diff is pushed, D50295 will be able to use this information).

Summary:
This patch fixes#7460559. It introduces SingleDelete as a new database
operation. This operation can be used to delete keys that were never
overwritten (no put following another put of the same key). If an overwritten
key is single deleted the behavior is undefined. Single deletion of a
non-existent key has no effect but multiple consecutive single deletions are
not allowed (see limitations).
In contrast to the conventional Delete() operation, the deletion entry is
removed along with the value when the two are lined up in a compaction. Note:
The semantics are similar to @igor's prototype that allowed to have this
behavior on the granularity of a column family (
https://reviews.facebook.net/D42093 ). This new patch, however, is more
aggressive when it comes to removing tombstones: It removes the SingleDelete
together with the value whenever there is no snapshot between them while the
older patch only did this when the sequence number of the deletion was older
than the earliest snapshot.
Most of the complex additions are in the Compaction Iterator, all other changes
should be relatively straightforward. The patch also includes basic support for
single deletions in db_stress and db_bench.
Limitations:
- Not compatible with cuckoo hash tables
- Single deletions cannot be used in combination with merges and normal
deletions on the same key (other keys are not affected by this)
- Consecutive single deletions are currently not allowed (and older version of
this patch supported this so it could be resurrected if needed)
