Summary: Our previous approach was to train one compression dictionary per compaction, using the first output SST to train a dictionary, and then applying it on subsequent SSTs in the same compaction. While this was great for minimizing CPU/memory/I/O overhead, it did not achieve good compression ratios in practice. In our most promising potential use case, moderate reductions in a dictionary's scope make a major difference on compression ratio. So, this PR changes compression dictionary to be scoped per-SST. It accepts the tradeoff during table building to use more memory and CPU. Important changes include: - The `BlockBasedTableBuilder` has a new state when dictionary compression is in-use: `kBuffered`. In that state it accumulates uncompressed data in-memory whenever `Add` is called. - After accumulating target file size bytes or calling `BlockBasedTableBuilder::Finish`, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` moves to the `kUnbuffered` state. The transition (`EnterUnbuffered()`) involves sampling the buffered data, training a dictionary, and compressing/writing out all buffered data. In the `kUnbuffered` state, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` behaves the same as before -- blocks are compressed/written out as soon as they fill up. - Samples are now whole uncompressed data blocks, except the final sample may be a partial data block so we don't breach the user's configured `max_dict_bytes` or `zstd_max_train_bytes`. The dictionary trainer is supposed to work better when we pass it real units of compression. Previously we were passing 64-byte KV samples which was not realistic.

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 specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
