fix handling of empty string as checkpoint directory

Summary:
- made `CreateCheckpoint` properly return `InvalidArgument` when called with an empty directory. Previously it triggered an assertion failure due to a bug in the logic.
- made `ldb` set empty `checkpoint_dir` if that's what the user specifies, so that we can use it to properly test `CreateCheckpoint` in the future.

 * Iterator::SeekForPrev is now a pure virtual method. This is to prevent user who implement the Iterator interface fail to implement SeekForPrev by mistake.
 * Add `include_end` option to make the range end exclusive when `include_end == false` in `DeleteFilesInRange()`.
 * Add `CompactRangeOptions::allow_write_stall`, which makes `CompactRange` start working immediately, even if it causes user writes to stall. The default value is false, meaning we add delay to `CompactRange` calls until stalling can be avoided when possible. Note this delay is not present in previous RocksDB versions.
+* Creating checkpoint with empty directory now returns `Status::InvalidArgument`; previously, it returned `Status::IOError`.
 
 ### New Features
 * Improve the performance of iterators doing long range scans by using readahead.
