Summary:
We slow down data into the database to the rate of options.delayed_write_rate (a new option) with this patch.
The thread synchronization approach I take is to still synchronize write controller by DB mutex and GetDelay() is inside DB mutex. Try to minimize the frequency of getting time in GetDelay(). I verified it through db_bench and it seems to work
hard_rate_limit is deprecated.
options.delayed_write_rate is still not dynamically changeable. Need to work on it as a follow-up.
Test Plan: Add new unit tests in db_test
