Summary: The main challenge to make the memtable garbage collection prototype (nicknamed `mempurge`) was to not get rid of WAL files that contain unflushed (but mempurged) data. That was successfully guaranteed by not writing the VersionEdit to the MANIFEST file after a successful mempurge. By not writing VersionEdits to the `MANIFEST` file after a succesful mempurge operation, we do not change the earliest log file number that contains unflushed data: `cfd->GetLogNumber()` (`cfd->SetLogNumber()` is only called in `VersionSet::ProcessManifestWrites`). As a result, a number of functions introduced earlier just for the mempurge operation are not obscolete/redundant. (e.g.: `FlushJob::ExtractEarliestLogFileNumber`), and this PR aims at cleaning up all these now-unnecessary functions. In particular, we no longer need to store the earliest log file number in the `MemTable` struct itself. This PR therefore also reverts the `MemTable` struct to its original form.

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.
