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.

Summary:
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: Implemented this simple wrapper for something else I was working on. Seemed like it makes sense to expose it instead of burying it in some random code.
