Summary: Add a feature to decrease the number of threads in thread pool. Also instantly schedule more threads if number of threads is increased. Here is the way it is implemented: each background thread needs its thread ID. After decreasing number of threads, all threads are woken up. The thread with the largest thread ID will terminate. If there are more threads to terminate, the thread will wake up all threads again. Another change is made so that when number of threads is increased, more threads are created and all previous excessive threads are woken up to do the work. Test Plan: Add a unit test.

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 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 an 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.
