Andrew Kryczka 072ae671a7 Apply use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction to writes only
Summary:
Previously `DBOptions::use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction=true` combined with `DBOptions::use_direct_reads=false` could cause RocksDB to simultaneously read from two file descriptors for the same file, where background reads used direct I/O and foreground reads used buffered I/O. Our measurements found this mixed-mode I/O negatively impacted foreground read perf, compared to when only buffered I/O was used.

This PR makes the mixed-mode I/O situation impossible by repurposing `DBOptions::use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction` to only apply to background writes, and `DBOptions::use_direct_reads` to apply to all reads. There is no risk of direct background direct writes happening simultaneously with buffered reads since we never read from and write to the same file simultaneously.
