Summary:
When users use Level-Compaction-with-TTL by setting `cf_options.ttl`, the ttl-expired data could take n*ttl time to reach the bottom level (where n is the number of levels) due to how the `creation_time` table property was calculated for the newly created files during compaction. The creation time of new files was set to a max of all compaction-input-files-creation-times which essentially resulted in resetting the ttl as the key range moves across levels. This behavior is now fixed by changing the `creation_time` to be based on minimum of all compaction-input-files-creation-times; this will cause cascading compactions across levels for the ttl-expired data to move to the bottom level, resulting in getting rid of tombstones/deleted-data faster.
This will help start cascading compactions to move the expired key range to the bottom-most level faster.
