Summary:
Fixes a major performance regression in 6.26, where
extra CPU is spent in SliceTransform::AsString when reads involve
a prefix_extractor (Get, MultiGet, Seek). Common case performance
is now better than 6.25.
This change creates a "fast path" for verifying that the current prefix
extractor is unchanged and compatible with what was used to
generate a table file. This fast path detects the common case by
pointer comparison on the current prefix_extractor and a "known
good" prefix extractor (if applicable) that is saved at the time the
table reader is opened. The "known good" prefix extractor is saved
as another shared_ptr copy (in an existing field, however) to ensure
the pointer is not recycled.
When the prefix_extractor has changed to a different instance but
same compatible configuration (rare, odd), performance is still a
regression compared to 6.25, but this is likely acceptable because
of the oddity of such a case. The performance of incompatible
prefix_extractor is essentially unchanged.
Also fixed a minor case (ForwardIterator) where a prefix_extractor
could be used via a raw pointer after being freed as a shared_ptr,
if replaced via SetOptions.

Test Plan:
## Performance
Populate DB with `TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/rocksdb ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=10000000 -disable_wal=1 -write_buffer_size=10000000 -bloom_bits=16 -compaction_style=2 -fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=10000 -fifo_compaction_allow_compaction=0 -prefix_size=12`
Running head-to-head comparisons simultaneously with `TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/rocksdb ./db_bench -use_existing_db -readonly -benchmarks=seekrandom -num=10000000 -duration=20 -disable_wal=1 -bloom_bits=16 -compaction_style=2 -fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=10000 -fifo_compaction_allow_compaction=0 -prefix_size=12`
Below each is compared by ops/sec vs. baseline which is version 6.25 (multiple baseline runs because of variable machine load)
v6.26: 4833 vs. 6698 (<- major regression!)
v6.27: 4737 vs. 6397 (still)
New: 6704 vs. 6461 (better than baseline in common case)
Disabled fastpath: 4843 vs. 6389 (e.g. if prefix extractor instance changes but is still compatible)
Changed prefix size (no usable filter) in new: 787 vs. 5927
Changed prefix size (no usable filter) in new & baseline: 773 vs. 784

* Added `Options::DisableExtraChecks()` that can be used to improve peak write performance by disabling checks that should not be necessary in the absence of software logic errors or CPU+memory hardware errors. (Default options are slowly moving toward some performance overheads for extra correctness checking.)
### Performance Improvements
* Improved read performance when a prefix extractor is used (Seek, Get, MultiGet), even compared to version 6.25 baseline (see bug fix below), by optimizing the common case of prefix extractor compatible with table file and unchanging.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix a bug that FlushMemTable may return ok even flush not succeed.
* Fixed a bug of Sync() and Fsync() not using `fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC)` on OS X and iOS.
* Fixed a significant performance regression in version 6.26 when a prefix extractor is used on the read path (Seek, Get, MultiGet). (Excessive time was spent in SliceTransform::AsString().)
