Summary: An application may accidentally write merge operands without properly configuring `merge_operator`. We should alert them as early as possible that there's an API misuse. Previously RocksDB only notified them when a query or background operation needed to merge but couldn't. With this PR, RocksDB notifies them of the problem before applying the merge operand to the memtable (although it may already be in WAL, which seems it'd cause a crash loop until they enable `merge_operator`).

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 especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
