Summary:
I have manually audited the entire RocksJava code base.
Sorry for the large pull-request, I have broken it down into many small atomic commits though.
My initial intention was to fix the warnings that appear when running RocksJava on Java 8 with `-Xcheck:jni`, for example when running `make jtest` you would see many errors similar to:
```
WARNING in native method: JNI call made without checking exceptions when required to from CallObjectMethod
WARNING in native method: JNI call made without checking exceptions when required to from CallVoidMethod
WARNING in native method: JNI call made without checking exceptions when required to from CallStaticVoidMethod
...
```
A few of those warnings still remain, however they seem to come directly from the JVM and are not directly related to RocksJava; I am in contact with the OpenJDK hostpot-dev mailing list about these - http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2017-February/025981.html.
As a result of fixing these, I realised we were not r

Summary:
Added support for the merge operation to RocksJava.
You can specify a merge function to be used on the current database.
The merge function can either be one of the functions defined in
utilities/merge_operators.h, which can be specified through its
corresponding name, or a user-created function that needs to be
encapsulated in a JNI object in order to be used. Examples are
provided for both use cases.
Test Plan: There are unit test in MergeTest.java
