Summary:
Add an argument to ldb to dump live file names, column families, and levels, `list_live_files_metadata`. The output shows all active SST file names, sorted first by column family and then by level. For each level the SST files are sorted alphabetically.
Typically, the output looks like this:
```
./ldb --db=/tmp/test_db list_live_files_metadata
Live SST Files:
===== Column Family: default =====
---------- level 0 ----------
/tmp/test_db/000069.sst
---------- level 1 ----------
/tmp/test_db/000064.sst
/tmp/test_db/000065.sst
/tmp/test_db/000066.sst
/tmp/test_db/000071.sst
---------- level 2 ----------
/tmp/test_db/000038.sst
/tmp/test_db/000039.sst
/tmp/test_db/000052.sst
/tmp/test_db/000067.sst
/tmp/test_db/000070.sst
------------------------------
```
Second, a flag was added `--sort_by_filename`, to change the layout of the output. When this flag is added to the command, the output shows all active SST files sorted by name, in front of which the LSM level and the column family are mentioned. With the same example, the following command would return:
```
./ldb --db=/tmp/test_db list_live_files_metadata --sort_by_filename
Live SST Files:
/tmp/test_db/000038.sst : level 2, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000039.sst : level 2, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000052.sst : level 2, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000064.sst : level 1, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000065.sst : level 1, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000066.sst : level 1, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000067.sst : level 2, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000069.sst : level 0, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000070.sst : level 2, column family 'default'
/tmp/test_db/000071.sst : level 1, column family 'default'
------------------------------
```
Thus, the user can either request to show the files by levels, or sorted by filenames.
This PR includes a simple Python unit test that makes sure the file name and level printed out by this new feature matches the one found with an existing feature, `dump_live_file`.
