hx235 dbe3810c74 Improve rate limiter implementation's readability (#8596)
Summary:
Context:
As need for new feature of resource management using RocksDB's rate limiter like [https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8595](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8595) arises, it is about time to re-learn our rate limiter and make this learning process easier for others by improving its readability. The comment/assertion/one extra else-branch are added based on my best understanding toward the rate_limiter.cc and rate_limiter_test.cc up to date after giving it a hard read.
- Add code comments/assertion/one extra else-branch (that is not affecting existing behavior, see PR comment) to describe how leader-election works under multi-thread settings in GenericRateLimiter::Request()
- Add code comments to describe a non-obvious trick during clean-up of rate limiter destructor
- Add code comments to explain more about the starvation being fixed in GenericRateLimiter::Refill() through partial byte-granting
- Add code comments to the rate limiter's setup in a complicated unit test in rate_limiter_test

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8596

Test Plan: - passed existing rate_limiter_test.cc
