Summary:
The patch makes it possible to set the BlobDB configuration option
`garbage_collection_cutoff` on the command line. In addition, it changes
the `db_bench` code so that the default values of BlobDB related
parameters are taken from the defaults of the actual BlobDB
configuration options (note: this changes the the default of
`blob_db_bytes_per_sync`).
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6211
Test Plan: Ran `db_bench` with various values of the new parameter.

* It is now possible to enable periodic compactions for the base DB when using BlobDB.
* BlobDB now garbage collects non-TTL blobs when `enable_garbage_collection` is set to `true` in `BlobDBOptions`. Garbage collection is performed during compaction: any valid blobs located in the oldest N files (where N is the number of non-TTL blob files multiplied by the value of `BlobDBOptions::garbage_collection_cutoff`) encountered during compaction get relocated to new blob files, and old blob files are dropped once they are no longer needed. Note: we recommend enabling periodic compactions for the base DB when using this feature to deal with the case when some old blob files are kept alive by SSTs that otherwise do not get picked for compaction.
* `db_bench` now supports the `garbage_collection_cutoff` option for BlobDB.
