Summary:
RocksDB does auto-readahead for iterators on noticing more than two sequential reads for a table file if user doesn't provide readahead_size. The readahead starts at 8KB and doubles on every additional read up to max_auto_readahead_size. However at each level, if iterator moves over next file, readahead_size starts again from 8KB.
This PR introduces a new ReadOption "adaptive_readahead" which when set true will maintain readahead_size at each level. So when iterator moves from one file to another, new file's readahead_size will continue from previous file's readahead_size instead of scratch. However if reads are not sequential it will fall back to 8KB (default) with no prefetching for that block.
1. If block is found in cache but it was eligible for prefetch (block wasn't in Rocksdb's prefetch buffer), readahead_size will decrease by 8KB.
2. It maintains readahead_size for L1 - Ln levels.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9056
Test Plan:
Added new unit tests
Ran db_bench for "readseq, seekrandom, seekrandomwhilewriting, readrandom" with --adaptive_readahead=true and there was no regression if new feature is enabled.

* Added new ChecksumType kXXH3 which is faster than kCRC32c on almost all x86\_64 hardware.
* Added a new online consistency check for BlobDB which validates that the number/total size of garbage blobs does not exceed the number/total size of all blobs in any given blob file.
* Provided support for tracking per-sst user-defined timestamp information in MANIFEST.
* Added new option "adaptive_readahead" in ReadOptions. For iterators, RocksDB does auto-readahead on noticing sequential reads and by enabling this option, readahead_size of current file (if reads are sequential) will be carried forward to next file instead of starting from the scratch at each level (except L0 level files). If reads are not sequential it will fall back to 8KB. This option is applicable only for RocksDB internal prefetch buffer and isn't supported with underlying file system prefetching.
### Bug Fixes
* Prevent a `CompactRange()` with `CompactRangeOptions::change_level == true` from possibly causing corruption to the LSM state (overlapping files within a level) when run in parallel with another manual compaction. Note that setting `force_consistency_checks == true` (the default) would cause the DB to enter read-only mode in this scenario and return `Status::Corruption`, rather than committing any corruption.
