Summary:
For our default block cache, each additional entry has extra memory overhead. It include LRUHandle (72 bytes currently) and the cache key (two varint64, file id and offset). The usage is not negligible. For example for block_size=4k, the overhead accounts for an extra 2% memory usage for the cache. The patch charging the cache for the extra usage, reducing untracked memory usage outside block cache. The feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by passing kDontChargeCacheMetadata to the cache constructor.
This PR builds up on https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/4258
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/5797
Test Plan:
- Existing tests are updated to either disable the feature when the test has too much dependency on the old way of accounting the usage or increasing the cache capacity to account for the additional charge of metadata.
- The Usage tests in cache_test.cc are augmented to test the cache usage under kFullChargeCacheMetadata.

* When user uses options.force_consistency_check in RocksDb, instead of crashing the process, we now pass the error back to the users without killing the process.
* Add an option `memtable_insert_hint_per_batch` to WriteOptions. If it is true, each WriteBatch will maintain its own insert hints for each memtable in concurrent write. See include/rocksdb/options.h for more details.
* The `sst_dump` command line tool `recompress` command now displays how many blocks were compressed and how many were not, in particular how many were not compressed because the compression ratio was not met (12.5% threshold for GoodCompressionRatio), as seen in the `number.block.not_compressed` counter stat since version 6.0.0.
* The block cache usage is now takes into account the overhead of metadata per each entry. This results into more accurate managment of memory. A side-effect of this feature is that less items are fit into the block cache of the same size, which would result to higher cache miss rates. This can be remedied by increasing the block cache size or passing kDontChargeCacheMetadata to its constuctor to restore the old behavior.
### Public API Change
* Added max_write_buffer_size_to_maintain option to better control memory usage of immutable memtables.
* Added a lightweight API GetCurrentWalFile() to get last live WAL filename and size. Meant to be used as a helper for backup/restore tooling in a larger ecosystem such as MySQL with a MyRocks storage engine.
