Summary:
This PR prepopulates warm/hot data blocks which are already in memory
into block cache at the time of flush. On a flush, the data block that is
in memory (in memtables) get flushed to the device. If using Direct IO,
additional IO is incurred to read this data back into memory again, which
is avoided by enabling newly added option.
Right now, this is enabled only for flush for data blocks. We plan to
expand this option to cover compactions in the future and for other types
of blocks.
