Summary:
Introducing Periodic Compactions.
This feature allows all the files in a CF to be periodically compacted. It could help in catching any corruptions that could creep into the DB proactively as every file is constantly getting re-compacted. And also, of course, it helps to cleanup data older than certain threshold.
- Introduced a new option `periodic_compaction_time` to control how long a file can live without being compacted in a CF.
- This works across all levels.
- The files are put in the same level after going through the compaction. (Related files in the same level are picked up as `ExpandInputstoCleanCut` is used).
- Compaction filters, if any, are invoked as usual.
- A new table property, `file_creation_time`, is introduced to implement this feature. This property is set to the time at which the SST file was created (and that time is given by the underlying Env/OS).
This feature can be enabled on its own, or in conjunction with `ttl`. It is possible to set a different time threshold for the bottom level when used in conjunction with ttl. Since `ttl` works only on 0 to last but one levels, you could set `ttl` to, say, 1 day, and `periodic_compaction_time` to, say, 7 days. Since `ttl < periodic_compaction_time` all files in last but one levels keep getting picked up based on ttl, and almost never based on periodic_compaction_time. The files in the bottom level get picked up for compaction based on `periodic_compaction_time`.

Summary:
This is a feature to sample data-block compressibility and and report them as stats. 1 in N (tunable) blocks is sampled for compressibility using two algorithms:
1. lz4 or snappy for fast compression
2. zstd or zlib for slow but higher compression.
The stats are reported to the caller as raw-bytes and compressed-bytes. The block continues to be compressed for storage using the specified CompressionType.
The db_bench_tool how has a command line option for specifying the sampling rate. It's default value is 0 (no sampling). To test the overhead for a certain value, users can compare the performance of db_bench_tool, varying the sampling rate. It is unlikely to have a noticeable impact for high values like 20.

Summary:
If `CompressionOptions::max_dict_bytes` and/or `CompressionOptions::zstd_max_train_bytes` are set, `SstFileWriter` will now generate files respecting those options.
I refactored the logic a bit for deciding when to use dictionary compression. Previously we plumbed `is_bottommost_level` down to the table builder and used that. However it was kind of confusing in `SstFileWriter`'s context since we don't know what level the file will be ingested to. Instead, now the higher-level callers (e.g., flush, compaction, file writer) are responsible for building the right `CompressionOptions` to give the table builder.

Summary:
Our previous approach was to train one compression dictionary per compaction, using the first output SST to train a dictionary, and then applying it on subsequent SSTs in the same compaction. While this was great for minimizing CPU/memory/I/O overhead, it did not achieve good compression ratios in practice. In our most promising potential use case, moderate reductions in a dictionary's scope make a major difference on compression ratio.
So, this PR changes compression dictionary to be scoped per-SST. It accepts the tradeoff during table building to use more memory and CPU. Important changes include:
- The `BlockBasedTableBuilder` has a new state when dictionary compression is in-use: `kBuffered`. In that state it accumulates uncompressed data in-memory whenever `Add` is called.
- After accumulating target file size bytes or calling `BlockBasedTableBuilder::Finish`, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` moves to the `kUnbuffered` state. The transition (`EnterUnbuffered()`) involves sampling the buffered data, training a dictionary, and compressing/writing out all buffered data. In the `kUnbuffered` state, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` behaves the same as before -- blocks are compressed/written out as soon as they fill up.
- Samples are now whole uncompressed data blocks, except the final sample may be a partial data block so we don't breach the user's configured `max_dict_bytes` or `zstd_max_train_bytes`. The dictionary trainer is supposed to work better when we pass it real units of compression. Previously we were passing 64-byte KV samples which was not realistic.

Summary:
RocksDB used to store global_seqno in external SST files written by
SstFileWriter. During file ingestion, RocksDB uses `pwrite` to update the
`global_seqno`. Since random write is not supported in some non-POSIX compliant
file systems, external SST file ingestion is not supported on these file
systems. To address this limitation, we no longer update `global_seqno` during
file ingestion. Later RocksDB uses the MANIFEST and other information in table
properties to deduce global seqno for externally-ingested SST files.

Summary:
Introducing FIFO compactions with TTL.
FIFO compaction is based on size only which makes it tricky to enable in production as use cases can have organic growth. A user requested an option to drop files based on the time of their creation instead of the total size.
To address that request:
- Added a new TTL option to FIFO compaction options.
- Updated FIFO compaction score to take TTL into consideration.
- Added a new table property, creation_time, to keep track of when the SST file is created.
- Creation_time is set as below:
- On Flush: Set to the time of flush.
- On Compaction: Set to the max creation_time of all the files involved in the compaction.
- On Repair and Recovery: Set to the time of repair/recovery.
- Old files created prior to this code change will have a creation_time of 0.
- FIFO compaction with TTL is enabled when ttl > 0. All files older than ttl will be deleted during compaction. i.e. `if (file.creation_time < (current_time - ttl)) then delete(file)`. This will enable cases where you might want to delete all files older than, say, 1 day.
- FIFO compaction will fall back to the prior way of deleting files based on size if:
- the creation_time of all files involved in compaction is 0.
- the total size (of all SST files combined) does not drop below `compaction_options_fifo.max_table_files_size` even if the files older than ttl are deleted.
This feature is not supported if max_open_files != -1 or with table formats other than Block-based.

Summary:
This adds a new metablock containing a shared dictionary that is used
to compress all data blocks in the SST file. The size of the shared dictionary
is configurable in CompressionOptions and defaults to 0. It's currently only
used for zlib/lz4/lz4hc, but the block will be stored in the SST regardless of
the compression type if the user chooses a nonzero dictionary size.
During compaction, computes the dictionary by randomly sampling the first
output file in each subcompaction. It pre-computes the intervals to sample
by assuming the output file will have the maximum allowable length. In case
the file is smaller, some of the pre-computed sampling intervals can be beyond
end-of-file, in which case we skip over those samples and the dictionary will
be a bit smaller. After the dictionary is generated using the first file in a
subcompaction, it is loaded into the compression library before writing each
block in each subsequent file of that subcompaction.
On the read path, gets the dictionary from the metablock, if it exists. Then,
loads that dictionary into the compression library before reading each block.

Summary:
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.
Test Plan:
'export TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/ && DISABLE_JEMALLOC=1 OPT=-g make all valgrind_check -j32' is OK.

Summary:
When Get() or NewIterator() trigger file loads, skip caching the filter block if
(1) optimize_filters_for_hits is set and (2) the file is on the bottommost
level. Also skip checking filters under the same conditions, which means that
for a preloaded file or a file that was trivially-moved to the bottom level, its
filter block will eventually expire from the cache.
- added parameters/instance variables in various places in order to propagate the config ("skip_filters") from version_set to block_based_table_reader
- in BlockBasedTable::Rep, this optimization prevents filter from being loaded when the file is opened simply by setting filter_policy = nullptr
- in BlockBasedTable::Get/BlockBasedTable::NewIterator, this optimization prevents filter from being used (even if it was loaded already) by setting filter = nullptr
