Summary: As discussed in #2742 , this pull-requests brings the iterator's [SeekForPrev()](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/SeekForPrev) functionality to the java-api. It affects all locations in the code where previously only Seek() was supported. All code changes are essentially a copy & paste of the already existing implementations for Seek(). **Please Note**: the changes to the C++ code were applied without fully understanding its effect, so please take a closer look. However, since Seek() and SeekForPrev() provide exactly the same signature, I do not expect any mistake here. The java-tests are extended by new tests for the additional functionality. Compilation (`make rocksdbjavastatic`) and test (`java/make test`) run without errors.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
