Summary:
There is a hardcoded constraint in our statistics collection that prevents reading properties from more than 20 SST files. This means our statistics will be very inaccurate for databases with > 20 files since additional files are just ignored. The purpose of constraining the number of files used is to bound the I/O performed during statistics collection, since these statistics need to be recomputed every time the database reopened.
However, this constraint doesn't take into account the case where option "max_open_files" is -1. In that case, all the file metadata has already been read, so MaybeInitializeFileMetaData() won't incur any I/O cost. so this diff gets rid of the 20-file constraint in case max_open_files == -1.
Test Plan:
write into unit test db/db_properties_test.cc - "ValidateSampleNumber".
We generate 20 files with 2 rows and 10 files with 1 row.
If max_open_files !=-1, the `rocksdb.estimate-num-keys` should be (10*1 + 10*2)/20 * 30 = 45. Otherwise, it should be the ground truth, 50.

When a block based table file is opened, if prefetch_index_and_filter is true, it will prefetch the index and filter blocks, putting them into the block cache.
What this feature adds: when a L0 block based table file is opened, if pin_l0_filter_and_index_blocks_in_cache is true in the options (and prefetch_index_and_filter is true), then the filter and index blocks aren't released back to the block cache at the end of BlockBasedTableReader::Open(). Instead the table reader takes ownership of them, hence pinning them, ie. the LRU cache will never push them out. Meanwhile in the table reader, further accesses will not hit the block cache, thus avoiding lock contention.

When subcompaction is used, all subcompactions share the same Compaction
pointer in CompactionJob while each subcompaction all keeps their mutable
stats in SubcompactionState. However, there're still some mutable part
that is currently store in the shared Compaction pointer.
This patch makes two changes:
1. Make the shared Compaction pointer const so that it can never be modified
during the compaction.
2. Move necessary states from Compaction to SubcompactionState.
3. Make functions of Compaction const if the function does not modify
its internal state.

Summary:
Fixed two related race conditions in backup creation.
(1) CreateNewBackup() uses DB::DisableFileDeletions() to prevent table files
from being deleted while it is copying; however, the MANIFEST file could still
rotate during this time. The fix is to stop deleting the old manifest in the
rotation logic. It will be deleted safely later when PurgeObsoleteFiles() runs
(can only happen when file deletions are enabled).
(2) CreateNewBackup() did not account for the CURRENT file being mutable.
This is significant because the files returned by GetLiveFiles() contain a
particular manifest filename, but the manifest to which CURRENT refers can
change at any time. This causes problems when CURRENT changes between the call
to GetLiveFiles() and when it's copied to the backup directory. To workaround this, I
manually forge a CURRENT file referring to the manifest filename returned in
GetLiveFiles().
(2) also applies to the checkpointing code, so let me know if this approach is
good and I'll make the same change there.

Summary:
Currently, transactions can fail even if there is no actual write conflict. This is due to relying on only the memtables to check for write-conflicts. Users have to tune memtable settings to try to avoid this, but it's hard to figure out exactly how to tune these settings.
With this diff, TransactionDB will use both memtables and SST files to determine if there are any write conflicts. This relies on the fact that BlockBasedTable stores sequence numbers for all writes that happen after any open snapshot. Also, D50295 is needed to prevent SingleDelete from disappearing writes (the TODOs in this test code will be fixed once the other diff is approved and merged).
Note that Optimistic transactions will still rely on tuning memtable settings as we do not want to read from SST while on the write thread. Also, memtable settings can still be used to reduce how often TransactionDB needs to read SST files.

Summary:
This patch finally fixes the ColumnFamilyTest.ReadDroppedColumnFamily test. The test has been failing very sporadically and it was hard to repro. However, I managed to write a new tests that reproes the failure deterministically.
Here's what happens:
1. We start the flush for the column family
2. We check if the column family was dropped here: a3fc49bfdd/db/flush_job.cc (L149)
3. This check goes through, ends up in InstallMemtableFlushResults() and it goes into LogAndApply()
4. At about this time, we start dropping the column family. Dropping the column family process gets to LogAndApply() at about the same time as LogAndApply() from flush process
5. Drop column family goes through LogAndApply() first, marking the column family as dropped.
6. Flush process gets woken up and gets a chance to write to the MANIFEST. However, this is where it gets stuck: a3fc49bfdd/db/version_set.cc (L1975)
7. We see that the column family was dropped, so there is no need to write to the MANIFEST. We return OK.
8. Flush gets OK back from LogAndApply() and it deletes the memtable, thinking that the data is now safely persisted to sst file.
The fix is pretty simple. Instead of OK, we return ShutdownInProgress. This is not really true, but we have been using this status code to also mean "this operation was canceled because the column family has been dropped".
The fix is only one LOC. All other code is related to tests. I added a new test that reproes the failure. I also moved SleepingBackgroundTask to util/testutil.h (because I needed it in column_family_test for my new test). There's plenty of other places where we reimplement SleepingBackgroundTask, but I'll address that in a separate commit.

Summary:
Up to this point, the subcompactions that make up a compaction
job have been divided based on the key range of the L1 files, and each
subcompaction has handled the key range of only one file. However
DBOption.max_subcompactions allows the user to designate how many
subcompactions at most to perform. This patch updates the
CompactionJob::GetSubcompactionBoundaries() to determine these
divisions accordingly based on that option and other input/system factors.
The current approach orders the starting and/or ending keys of certain
compaction input files and then generates a histogram to approximate the
size covered by the key range between each consecutive pair of keys. Then
it groups these ranges into groups so that the sizes are approximately equal
to one another. The approach has also been adapted to work for universal
compaction as well instead of just for level-based compaction as it was before.
These subcompactions are then executed in parallel by locally spawning
threads, one for each. The results are then aggregated and the compaction
completed.

Summary:
As of now compactions involving files from Level 0 and Level 1 are single
threaded because the files in L0, although sorted, are not range partitioned like
the other levels. This means that during L0-L1 compaction each file from L1
needs to be merged with potentially all the files from L0.
This attempt to parallelize the L0-L1 compaction assigns a thread and a
corresponding iterator to each L1 file that then considers only the key range
found in that L1 file and only the L0 files that have those keys (and only the
specific portion of those L0 files in which those keys are found). In this way
the overlap is minimized and potentially eliminated between different iterators
focusing on the same files.
The first step is to restructure the compaction logic to break L0-L1 compactions
into multiple, smaller, sequential compactions. Eventually each of these smaller
jobs will be run simultaneously. Areas to pay extra attention to are
# Correct aggregation of compaction job statistics across multiple threads
# Proper opening/closing of output files (make sure each thread's is unique)
# Keys that span multiple L1 files
# Skewed distributions of keys within L0 files
