Summary: Now if inserting to mem table is much faster than writing to files, there is no mechanism users can rely on to avoid stopping for reaching options.max_write_buffer_number. With the commit, if there are more than four maximum write buffers configured, we slow down to the rate of options.delayed_write_rate while we reach the last one.
Test Plan:
1. Add a new unit test.
2. Run db_bench with
./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom --num=10000000 --max_background_flushes=6 --batch_size=32 -max_write_buffer_number=4 --delayed_write_rate=500000 --statistics
based on hard drive and see stopping is avoided with the commit.
