Summary:
Basically at the moment it seems it's possible to cause write stall by calling flush (either manually vis DB::Flush(), or from Backup Engine directly calling FlushMemTable() while background flush may be already happening.
One of the ways to fix it is that in DBImpl::CompactRange() we already check for possible stall and delay flush if needed before we actually proceed to call FlushMemTable(). We can simply move this delay logic to separate method and call it from FlushMemTable.
This is draft patch, for first look; need to check tests/update SyncPoints and most certainly would need to add allow_write_stall method to FlushOptions().

* `OnTableFileCreated` will now be called for empty files generated during compaction. In that case, `TableFileCreationInfo::file_path` will be "(nil)" and `TableFileCreationInfo::file_size` will be zero.
* Add `FlushOptions::allow_write_stall`, which controls whether Flush calls start working immediately, even if it causes user writes to stall, or will wait until flush can be performed without causing write stall (similar to `CompactRangeOptions::allow_write_stall`). Note that the default value is false, meaning we add delay to Flush calls until stalling can be avoided when possible. This is behavior change compared to previous RocksDB versions, where Flush calls didn't check if they might cause stall or not.
