Summary:
The patch cleans up the code and improves the consistency checks around
adding/deleting table files in `VersionBuilder`. Namely, it makes the checks
stricter and improves them in the following ways:
1) A table file can now only be deleted from the LSM tree using the level it
resides on. Earlier, there was some unnecessary wiggle room for
trivially moved files (they could be deleted using a lower level number than
the actual one).
2) A table file cannot be added to the tree if it is already present in the tree
on any level (not just the target level). The earlier code only had an assertion
(which is a no-op in release builds) that the newly added file is not already
present on the target level.
3) The above consistency checks around state transitions are now mandatory,
as opposed to the earlier `CheckConsistencyForDeletes`, which was a no-op
in release mode unless `force_consistency_checks` was set to `true`. The rationale
here is that assuming that the initial state is consistent, a valid transition leads to a
next state that is also consistent; however, an *invalid* transition offers no such
guarantee. Hence it makes sense to validate the transitions unconditionally,
and save `force_consistency_checks` for the paranoid checks that re-validate
the entire state.
4) The new checks build on the mechanism introduced in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6862,
which enables us to efficiently look up the location (level and position within level)
of files in a `Version` by file number. This makes the consistency checks much more
efficient than the earlier `CheckConsistencyForDeletes`, which essentially
performed a linear search.
