Summary: Optimistic transactions supporting begin/commit/rollback semantics. Currently relies on checking the memtable to determine if there are any collisions at commit time. Not yet implemented would be a way of enuring the memtable has some minimum amount of history so that we won't fail to commit when the memtable is empty. You should probably start with transaction.h to get an overview of what is currently supported.
Test Plan: Added a new test, but still need to look into stress testing.

Summary:
For transactions, we are using the memtables to validate that there are no write conflicts. But after flushing, we don't have any memtables, and transactions could fail to commit. So we want to someone keep around some extra history to use for conflict checking. In addition, we want to provide a way to increase the size of this history if too many transactions fail to commit.
After chatting with people, it seems like everyone prefers just using Memtables to store this history (instead of a separate history structure). It seems like the best place for this is abstracted inside the memtable_list. I decide to create a separate list in MemtableListVersion as using the same list complicated the flush/installalflushresults logic too much.
This diff adds a new parameter to control how much memtable history to keep around after flushing. However, it sounds like people aren't too fond of adding new parameters. So I am making the default size of flushed+not-flushed memtables be set to max_write_buffers. This should not change the maximum amount of memory used, but make it more likely we're using closer the the limit. (We are now postponing deleting flushed memtables until the max_write_buffer limit is reached). So while we might use more memory on average, we are still obeying the limit set (and you could argue it's better to go ahead and use up memory now instead of waiting for a write stall to happen to test this limit).
However, if people are opposed to this default behavior, we can easily set it to 0 and require this parameter be set in order to use transactions.
Test Plan: Added a xfunc test to play around with setting different values of this parameter in all tests. Added testing in memtablelist_test and planning on adding more testing here.

Summary:
Added these events:
* Recovery start, finish and also when recovery creates a file
* Trivial move
* Compaction start, finish and when compaction creates a file
* Flush start, finish
Also includes small fix to EventLogger
Also added option ROCKSDB_PRINT_EVENTS_TO_STDOUT which is useful when we debug things. I've spent far too much time chasing LOG files.
Still didn't get sst table properties in JSON. They are written very deeply into the stack. I'll address in separate diff.
TODO:
* Write specification. Let's first use this for a while and figure out what's good data to put here, too. After that we'll write spec
* Write tools that parse and analyze LOGs. This can be in python or go. Good intern task.
Test Plan: Ran db_bench with ROCKSDB_PRINT_EVENTS_TO_STDOUT. Here's the output: https://phabricator.fb.com/P19811976

Summary:
Test failing due to a missing directory caused by a simple bug (did not run into this on my dev box since the path already existed).
We should look into deleting test::TmpDir() before each test run.
