Peter Dillinger 68a9c186d0 FilterPolicy API changes for 7.0 (#9501)
Summary:
* Inefficient block-based filter is no longer customizable in the public
API, though (for now) can still be enabled.
  * Removed deprecated FilterPolicy::CreateFilter() and
  FilterPolicy::KeyMayMatch()
  * Removed `rocksdb_filterpolicy_create()` from C API
* Change meaning of nullptr return from GetBuilderWithContext() from "use
block-based filter" to "generate no filter in this case." This is a
cleaner solution to the proposal in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8250.
  * Also, when user specifies bits_per_key < 0.5, we now round this down
  to "no filter" because we expect a filter with >= 80% FP rate is
  unlikely to be worth the CPU cost of accessing it (esp with
  cache_index_and_filter_blocks=1 or partition_filters=1).
  * bits_per_key >= 0.5 and < 1.0 is still rounded up to 1.0 (for 62% FP
  rate)
  * This also gives us some support for configuring filters from OPTIONS
  file as currently saved: `filter_policy=rocksdb.BuiltinBloomFilter`.
  Opening from such an options file will enable reading filters (an
  improvement) but not writing new ones. (See Customizable follow-up
  below.)
* Also removed deprecated functions
  * FilterBitsBuilder::CalculateNumEntry()
  * FilterPolicy::GetFilterBitsBuilder()
  * NewExperimentalRibbonFilterPolicy()
* Remove default implementations of
  * FilterBitsBuilder::EstimateEntriesAdded()
  * FilterBitsBuilder::ApproximateNumEntries()
  * FilterPolicy::GetBuilderWithContext()
* Remove support for "filter_policy=experimental_ribbon" configuration
string.
* Allow "filter_policy=bloomfilter:n" without bool to discourage use of
block-based filter.

Some pieces for https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9389

Likely follow-up (later PRs):
* Refactoring toward FilterPolicy Customizable, so that we can generate
filters with same configuration as before when configuring from options
file.
* Remove support for user enabling block-based filter (ignore `bool
use_block_based_builder`)
  * Some months after this change, we could even remove read support for
  block-based filter, because it is not critical to DB data
  preservation.
* Make FilterBitsBuilder::FinishV2 to avoid `using
FilterBitsBuilder::Finish` mess and add support for specifying a
MemoryAllocator (for cache warming)
