Summary: Add `experimental_mempurge_policy` option flag and introduce two new `MemPurge` (Memtable Garbage Collection) policies: 'ALWAYS' and 'ALTERNATE'. Default value: ALTERNATE. `ALWAYS`: every flush will first go through a `MemPurge` process. If the output is too big to fit into a single memtable, then the mempurge is aborted and a regular flush process carries on. `ALWAYS` is designed for user that need to reduce the number of L0 SST file created to a strict minimum, and can afford a small dent in performance (possibly hits to CPU usage, read efficiency, and maximum burst write throughput). `ALTERNATE`: a flush is transformed into a `MemPurge` except if one of the memtables being flushed is the product of a previous `MemPurge`. `ALTERNATE` is a good tradeoff between reduction in number of L0 SST files created and performance. `ALTERNATE` perform particularly well for completely random garbage ratios, or garbage ratios anywhere in (0%,50%], and even higher when there is a wild variability in garbage ratios. This PR also includes support for `experimental_mempurge_policy` in `db_bench`. Testing was done locally by replacing all the `MemPurge` policies of the unit tests with `ALTERNATE`, as well as local testing with `db_crashtest.py` `whitebox` and `blackbox`. Overall, if an `ALWAYS` mempurge policy passes the tests, there is no reasons why an `ALTERNATE` policy would fail, and therefore the mempurge policy was set to `ALWAYS` for all mempurge unit tests.

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.
