Peter Dillinger 82afa01815 Some API clarifications (#9080)
Summary:
* Clarify that RocksDB is not exception safe on many of our callback
and extension interfaces
* Clarify FSRandomAccessFile::MultiRead implementations must accept
non-sorted inputs (see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8953)
* Clarify ConcurrentTaskLimiter and SstFileManager are not (currently)
extensible interfaces
* Mark WriteBufferManager as `final`, so it is then clearly not a
callback interface, even though it smells like one
* Clarify TablePropertiesCollector Status returns are mostly ignored

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9080

Test Plan: comments only (except WriteBufferManager final)

// A Cache is an interface that maps keys to values. It has internal
// synchronization and may be safely accessed concurrently from
// multiple threads. It may automatically evict entries to make room
// for new entries. Values have a specified charge against the cache
// capacity. For example, a cache where the values are variable
// length strings, may use the length of the string as the charge for
// the string.
//
// A builtin cache implementation with a least-recently-used eviction
// policy is provided. Clients may use their own implementations if
// they want something more sophisticated (like scan-resistance, a
// custom eviction policy, variable cache sizing, etc.)
