Hui Xiao ca0ef54f16 Rate-limit automatic WAL flush after each user write (#9607)
Summary:
**Context:**
WAL flush is currently not rate-limited by `Options::rate_limiter`. This PR is to provide rate-limiting to auto WAL flush, the one that automatically happen after each user write operation (i.e, `Options::manual_wal_flush == false`), by adding `WriteOptions::rate_limiter_options`.

Note that we are NOT rate-limiting WAL flush that do NOT automatically happen after each user write, such as  `Options::manual_wal_flush == true + manual FlushWAL()` (rate-limiting multiple WAL flushes),  for the benefits of:
- being consistent with [ReadOptions::rate_limiter_priority](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/7.0.fb/include/rocksdb/options.h#L515)
- being able to turn off some WAL flush's rate-limiting but not all (e.g, turn off specific the WAL flush of a critical user write like a service's heartbeat)

`WriteOptions::rate_limiter_options` only accept `Env::IO_USER` and `Env::IO_TOTAL` currently due to an implementation constraint.
- The constraint is that we currently queue parallel writes (including WAL writes) based on FIFO policy which does not factor rate limiter priority into this layer's scheduling. If we allow lower priorities such as `Env::IO_HIGH/MID/LOW` and such writes specified with lower priorities occurs before ones specified with higher priorities (even just by a tiny bit in arrival time), the former would have blocked the latter, leading to a "priority inversion" issue and contradictory to what we promise for rate-limiting priority. Therefore we only allow `Env::IO_USER` and `Env::IO_TOTAL`  right now before improving that scheduling.

A pre-requisite to this feature is to support operation-level rate limiting in `WritableFileWriter`, which is also included in this PR.

**Summary:**
- Renamed test suite `DBRateLimiterTest to DBRateLimiterOnReadTest` for adding a new test suite
- Accept `rate_limiter_priority` in `WritableFileWriter`'s private and public write functions
- Passed `WriteOptions::rate_limiter_options` to `WritableFileWriter` in the path of automatic WAL flush.

Test Plan:
- Added new unit test to verify existing flush/compaction rate-limiting does not break, since `DBTest, RateLimitingTest` is disabled and current db-level rate-limiting tests focus on read only (e.g, `db_rate_limiter_test`, `DBTest2, RateLimitedCompactionReads`).
- Added new unit test `DBRateLimiterOnWriteWALTest, AutoWalFlush`
- `strace -ftt -e trace=write ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillseq -db=/dev/shm/testdb -rate_limit_auto_wal_flush=1 -rate_limiter_bytes_per_sec=15 -rate_limiter_refill_period_us=1000000 -write_buffer_size=100000000 -disable_auto_compactions=1 -num=100`
   - verified that WAL flush(i.e, system-call _write_) were chunked into 15 bytes and each _write_ was roughly 1 second apart
   - verified the chunking disappeared when `-rate_limit_auto_wal_flush=0`
- crash test: `python3 tools/db_crashtest.py blackbox --disable_wal=0  --rate_limit_auto_wal_flush=1 --rate_limiter_bytes_per_sec=10485760 --interval=10` killed as normal

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

CircleCI Status TravisCI Status Appveyor Build status PPC64le Build Status

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.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/main/examples

See the github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.

Questions and discussions are welcome on the RocksDB Developers Public Facebook group and email list on Google Groups.
