Summary:
The CollapsedRangeDelMap was entirely mishandling tombstones at the same
sequence number when the tombstones did not have identical start and end
keys. Such tombstones are common since 90fc40690, which causes
tombstones to be split during compactions.
For example, if the tombstone [a, c) @ 1 lies across a compaction
boundary at b, it will be split into [a, b) @ 1 and [b, c) @ 1. Without
this patch, the collapsed range deletion map would look like this:
a -> 1
b -> 1
c -> 0
Notice how the b -> 1 entry is redundant. When the tombstones overlap,
the problem is even worse. Consider tombstones [a, c) @ 1 and [b, d) @
1, which produces this map without this patch:
a -> 1
b -> 1
c -> 0
d -> 0
This map is corrupt, as a map can never contain adjacent sentinel (zero)
entries. When the iterator advances from b to c, it will notice that c
is a sentinel enty and skip to d--but d is also a sentinel entry! Asking
what tombstone this iterator points to will trigger an assertion, as it
is not pointing to a valid tombstone.

Summary:
`RangeDelAggregator::AddTombstones` contained an assertion which stated that, if a range tombstone extended past the largest key in the sstable, then `FileMetaData::largest` must have a sentinel sequence number of `kMaxSequenceNumber`, which implies that the tombstone's end key is safe to truncate. However, `largest` will not be a sentinel key when the next sstable in the level's smallest key is equal to the current sstable's largest key, which caused the assertion to fail.
The assertion must hold for the truncation to be safe, so it has been moved to an additional check on end-key truncation.

Summary:
Do not consider the range tombstone sentinel key as causing 2 adjacent
sstables in a level to overlap. When a range tombstone's end key is the
largest key in an sstable, the sstable's end key is so to a "sentinel"
value that is the smallest key in the next sstable with a sequence
number of kMaxSequenceNumber. This "sentinel" is guaranteed to not
overlap in internal-key space with the next sstable. Unfortunately,
GetOverlappingFiles uses user-keys to determine overlap and was thus
considering 2 adjacent sstables in a level to overlap if they were
separated by this sentinel key. This in turn would cause compactions to
be larger than necessary.
Note that this conflicts with
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2769 and cases
`DBRangeDelTest.CompactionTreatsSplitInputLevelDeletionAtomically` to
fail.

Summary:
This fixes the same performance issue that #3992 fixes but with much more invasive cleanup.
I'm more excited about this PR because it paves the way for fixing another problem we uncovered at Cockroach where range deletion tombstones can cause massive compactions. For example, suppose L4 contains deletions from [a, c) and [x, z) and no other keys, and L5 is entirely empty. L6, however, is full of data. When compacting L4 -> L5, we'll end up with one file that spans, massively, from [a, z). When we go to compact L5 -> L6, we'll have to rewrite all of L6! If, instead of range deletions in L4, we had keys a, b, x, y, and z, RocksDB would have been smart enough to create two files in L5: one for a and b and another for x, y, and z.
With the changes in this PR, it will be possible to adjust the compaction logic to split tombstones/start new output files when they would span too many files in the grandparent level.
ajkr please take a look when you have a minute!

Summary:
Before we were checking every file in the level which was unnecessary. We can piggyback onto the code for checking point-key overlap, which already opens all the files that could possibly contain overlapping range deletions. This PR makes us check just the range deletions from those files, so no extra ones will be opened.

Summary:
When deletion-collapsing mode is enabled (i.e., for DBIter/CompactionIterator), we maintain position in the tombstone maps across calls to ShouldDelete(). Since iterators often access keys sequentially (or reverse-sequentially), scanning forward/backward from the last position can be faster than binary-searching the map for every key.
- When Next() is invoked on an iterator, we use kForwardTraversal to scan forwards, if needed, until arriving at the range deletion containing the next key.
- Similarly for Prev(), we use kBackwardTraversal to scan backwards in the range deletion map.
- When the iterator seeks, we use kBinarySearch for repositioning
- After tombstones are added or before the first ShouldDelete() invocation, the current position is set to invalid, which forces kBinarySearch to be used.
- Non-iterator users (i.e., Get()) use kFullScan, which has the same behavior as before---scan the whole map for every key passed to ShouldDelete().

Summary:
Added a tombstone-collapsing mode to RangeDelAggregator, which eliminates overlap in the TombstoneMap. In this mode, we can check whether a tombstone covers a user key using upper_bound() (i.e., binary search). However, the tradeoff is the overhead to add tombstones is now higher, so at first I've only enabled it for range scans (compaction/flush/user iterators), where we expect a high number of calls to ShouldDelete() for the same tombstones. Point queries like Get() will still use the linear scan approach.
Also in this diff I changed RangeDelAggregator's TombstoneMap to use multimap with user keys instead of map with internal keys. Callers sometimes provided ParsedInternalKey directly, from which it would've required string copying to derive an internal key Slice with which we could search the map.
