Dhruba Borthakur ad96563b79 Ability to configure bufferedio-reads, filesystem-readaheads and mmap-read-write per database.
Summary:
This patch allows an application to specify whether to use bufferedio,
reads-via-mmaps and writes-via-mmaps per database. Earlier, there
was a global static variable that was used to configure this functionality.

The default setting remains the same (and is backward compatible):
 1. use bufferedio
 2. do not use mmaps for reads
 3. use mmap for writes
 4. use readaheads for reads needed for compaction

I also added a parameter to db_bench to be able to explicitly specify
whether to do readaheads for compactions or not.

Test Plan: make check
