Sagar Vemuri 1cd45cd1b3 FIFO Compaction with TTL
Summary:
Introducing FIFO compactions with TTL.

FIFO compaction is based on size only which makes it tricky to enable in production as use cases can have organic growth. A user requested an option to drop files based on the time of their creation instead of the total size.

To address that request:
- Added a new TTL option to FIFO compaction options.
- Updated FIFO compaction score to take TTL into consideration.
- Added a new table property, creation_time, to keep track of when the SST file is created.
- Creation_time is set as below:
  - On Flush: Set to the time of flush.
  - On Compaction: Set to the max creation_time of all the files involved in the compaction.
  - On Repair and Recovery: Set to the time of repair/recovery.
  - Old files created prior to this code change will have a creation_time of 0.
- FIFO compaction with TTL is enabled when ttl > 0. All files older than ttl will be deleted during compaction. i.e. `if (file.creation_time < (current_time - ttl)) then delete(file)`. This will enable cases where you might want to delete all files older than, say, 1 day.
- FIFO compaction will fall back to the prior way of deleting files based on size if:
  - the creation_time of all files involved in compaction is 0.
  - the total size (of all SST files combined) does not drop below `compaction_options_fifo.max_table_files_size` even if the files older than ttl are deleted.

This feature is not supported if max_open_files != -1 or with table formats other than Block-based.

**Test Plan:**
Added tests.

**Benchmark results:**
Base: FIFO with max size: 100MB ::
```
svemuri@dev15905 ~/rocksdb (fifo-compaction) $ TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench --benchmarks=readwhilewriting --num=5000000 --threads=16 --compaction_style=2 --fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=100

readwhilewriting :       1.924 micros/op 519858 ops/sec;   13.6 MB/s (1176277 of 5000000 found)
```

With TTL (a low one for testing) ::
```
svemuri@dev15905 ~/rocksdb (fifo-compaction) $ TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench --benchmarks=readwhilewriting --num=5000000 --threads=16 --compaction_style=2 --fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=100 --fifo_compaction_ttl=20

readwhilewriting :       1.902 micros/op 525817 ops/sec;   13.7 MB/s (1185057 of 5000000 found)
```
