Scale histogram bucket size by constant factor

Summary:
The goal is to reduce the number of histogram buckets, particularly now that we print these histograms for each column family. I chose 1.5 as the factor. We can adjust it later to either make buckets more granular or make fewer buckets.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2139

 # Rocksdb Change Log
 ## Unreleased
+### Public API Change
+* Users of `Statistics::getHistogramString()` will see fewer histogram buckets and different bucket endpoints.
 
 ### New Features
 * Add Iterator::Refresh(), which allows users to update the iterator state so that they can avoid some initialization costs of recreating iterators.
