Summary: Changes the API of the MemPurge process: the `bool experimental_allow_mempurge` and `experimental_mempurge_policy` flags have been replaced by a `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` option. This change of API reflects another major change introduced in this PR: the MemPurgeDecider() function now works by sampling the memtables being flushed to estimate the overall amount of useful payload (payload minus the garbage), and then compare this useful payload estimate with the `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` value. Therefore, when the value of this flag is `0.0` (default value), mempurge is simply deactivated. On the other hand, a value of `DBL_MAX` would be equivalent to always going through a mempurge regardless of the garbage ratio estimate. At the moment, a `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` value else than 0.0 or `DBL_MAX` is opnly supported`with the `SkipList` memtable representation. Regarding the sampling, this PR includes the introduction of a `MemTable::UniqueRandomSample` function that collects (approximately) random entries from the memtable by using the new `SkipList::Iterator::RandomSeek()` under the hood, or by iterating through each memtable entry, depending on the target sample size and the total number of entries. The unit tests have been readapted to support this new API.

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.
