Summary:
This change removes the ability to configure the deprecated,
inefficient block-based filter in the public API. Options that would
have enabled it now use "full" (and optionally partitioned) filters.
Existing block-based filters can still be read and used, and a "back
door" way to build them still exists, for testing and in case of trouble.
About the only way this removal would cause an issue for users is if
temporary memory for filter construction greatly increases. In
HISTORY.md we suggest a few possible mitigations: partitioned filters,
smaller SST files, or setting reserve_table_builder_memory=true.
Or users who have customized a FilterPolicy using the
CreateFilter/KeyMayMatch mechanism removed in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9501 will have to upgrade
their code. (It's long past time for people to move to the new
builder/reader customization interface.)
This change also introduces some internal-use-only configuration strings
for testing specific filter implementations while bypassing some
compatibility / intelligence logic. This is intended to hint at a path
toward making FilterPolicy Customizable, but it also gives us a "back
door" way to configure block-based filter.
Aside: updated db_bench so that -readonly implies -use_existing_db

Test Plan:
Unit tests updated. Specifically,
* BlockBasedTableTest.BlockReadCountTest is tweaked to validate the back
door configuration interface and ignoring of `use_block_based_builder`.
* BlockBasedTableTest.TracingGetTest is migrated from testing
block-based filter access pattern to full filter access patter, by
re-ordering some things.
* Options test (pretty self-explanatory)
Performance test - create with `./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/rocksdb1 -bloom_bits=10 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks=1 -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=10000000 -compaction_style=2 -fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=10000 -fifo_compaction_allow_compaction=0` with and without `-use_block_based_filter`, which creates a DB with 21 SST files in L0. Read with `./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/rocksdb1 -readonly -bloom_bits=10 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks=1 -benchmarks=readrandom -num=10000000 -compaction_style=2 -fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=10000 -fifo_compaction_allow_compaction=0 -duration=30`
Without -use_block_based_filter: readrandom 464 ops/sec, 689280 KB DB
With -use_block_based_filter: readrandom 169 ops/sec, 690996 KB DB
No consistent difference with fillrandom
