Summary:
The earlier `VersionBuilder` code only cleaned up blob files that were
marked as entirely consisting of garbage using `VersionEdits` with
`BlobFileGarbage`. This covers the cases when table files go through
regular compaction, where we iterate through the KVs and thus have an
opportunity to calculate the amount of garbage (that is, most cases).
However, it does not help when table files are simply dropped (e.g. deletion
compactions or the `DeleteFile` API). To deal with such cases, the patch
adds logic that cleans up all blob files at the head of the list until the first
one with linked SSTs is found. (As an example, let's assume we have blob files
with numbers 1..10, and the first one with any linked SSTs is number 8.
This means that SSTs in the `Version` only rely on blob files with numbers >= 8,
and thus 1..7 are no longer needed.)
The code change itself is pretty small; however, changing the logic like this
necessitated changes to some tests that have been added recently (namely
to the ones that use blob files in isolation, i.e. without any table files referring
to them). Some of these cases were fixed by bypassing `VersionBuilder` altogether
in order to keep the tests simple (which actually makes them more proper unit tests
as well), while the `VersionBuilder` unit tests were fixed by adding dummy table
files to the test cases as needed.
