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.

Summary:
When the manifest is getting rolled the following happens:
1) manifest_file_number_ is assigned to a new manifest number (even though the old one is still current)
2) mutex is unlocked
3) SetCurrentFile() creates temporary file manifest_file_number_.dbtmp
4) SetCurrentFile() renames manifest_file_number_.dbtmp to CURRENT
5) mutex is locked
If FindObsoleteFiles happens between (3) and (4) it will:
1) Delete manifest_file_number_.dbtmp (because it's not in pending_outputs_)
2) Delete old manifest (because the manifest_file_number_ already points to a new one)
I introduce the concept of prev_manifest_file_number_ that will avoid the race condition.
However, we should discuss the future of MANIFEST file rolling. We found some race conditions with it last week and who knows how many more are there. Nobody is using it in production because we don't trust the implementation. Should we even support it?

Summary:
Here is what it can cause probelm:
There is one memtable flush and one compaction. Both call LogAndApply(). If both edits are applied in the same batch with flush edit first and the compaction edit followed. LogAndApplyHelper() will assign compaction edit current VersionSet's log number(which should be smaller than the log number from flush edit). It cause log_numbers in MANIFEST to be not monotonic increasing, which violates the assume Recover() makes. What is more is after comitting to MANIFEST file, log_number_ in VersionSet is updated to the log_number from the last edit, which is the compaction one. It ends up not updating the log_number.

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!

Summary:
With D16767, there is a case compaction tasks are scheduled infinitely:
(1) no flush thread is configured and more than 1 compaction threads
(2) a flush is going on by one compaction hread
(3) the state of SST files is in the state that versions_->current()->NeedsCompaction() will generate a false positive (return true actually there is no work to be done)
In that case, a infinite loop will be formed.
This patch would fix it.

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!

(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.
