Summary:
The main improvement here is to not include `.` or `..` in the results of `Env::GetChildren`. The occurrence of `.` or `..`; it is non-portable, dependent on the Operating System and the File System. See: https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Reading_002fClosing-Directory.html
There were lots of duplicate checks spread through the RocksDB codebase previously to skip `.` and `..`. This new removes the need for those at the source.
Also some minor fixes to `Env::GetChildren`:
* Improve error handling in POSIX implementation
* Remove unnecessary array allocation on Windows
* Fix struct name for Windows Non-UTF-8 API

* Deprecated public but rarely-used FilterBitsBuilder::CalculateNumEntry, which is replaced with ApproximateNumEntries taking a size_t parameter and returning size_t.
* To improve portability the functions `Env::GetChildren` and `Env::GetChildrenFileAttributes` will no longer return entries for the special directories `.` or `..`.
