Summary: In https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8454, I introduced a new process baptized `MemPurge` (memtable garbage collection). This new PR is built upon this past mempurge prototype. In this PR, I made the `mempurge` process a background task, which provides superior performance since the mempurge process does not cling on the db_mutex anymore, and addresses severe restrictions from the past iteration (including a scenario where the past mempurge was failling, when a memtable was mempurged but was still referred to by an iterator/snapshot/...). Now the mempurge process ressembles an in-memory compaction process: the stack of immutable memtables is filtered out, and the useful payload is used to populate an output memtable. If the output memtable is filled at more than 60% capacity (arbitrary heuristic) the mempurge process is aborted and a regular flush process takes place, else the output memtable is kept in the immutable memtable stack. Note that adding this output memtable to the `imm()` memtable stack does not trigger another flush process, so that the flush thread can go to sleep at the end of a successful mempurge. MemPurge is activated by making the `experimental_allow_mempurge` flag `true`. When activated, the `MemPurge` process will always happen when the flush reason is `kWriteBufferFull`. The 3 unit tests confirm that this process supports `Put`, `Get`, `Delete`, `DeleteRange` operators and is compatible with `Iterators` and `CompactionFilters`.

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.
