Summary:
if an operation just involves a single column family, then we do
not have to set the kInAtomicGroup tag when writing to MANIFEST. This change
can fix a compatibility test failure, i.e. 5.15 and earlier cannot recognize
kInAtomicGroup tag.

Summary:
1. this commit fixes our handling of a combination of two separate edge
cases. If a flush job does not pick any memtable to flush (because another
flush job has already picked the same memtables), and the column family
assigned to the flush job is dropped right before RocksDB calls
rocksdb::InstallMemtableAtomicFlushResults, our original code passes
a FileMetaData object whose file number is 0, failing the assertion in
rocksdb::InstallMemtableAtomicFlushResults (assert(m->GetFileNumber() > 0)).
2. Also piggyback a small change: since we already create a local copy of column family's mutable CF options to eliminate potential race condition with `SetOptions` call, we might as well use the local copy in other function calls in the same scope.

Summary:
as titled.
Since different bg flush threads can flush different sets of column families
(due to column family creation and drop), we decide not to let one thread
perform atomic flush result installation for other threads. Bg flush threads
will install their atomic flush results sequentially to MANIFEST, using
a conditional variable, i.e. atomic_flush_install_cv_ to coordinate.

Summary:
The old RangeDelAggregator did expensive pre-processing work
to create a collapsed, binary-searchable representation of range
tombstones. With FragmentedRangeTombstoneIterator, much of this work is
now unnecessary. RangeDelAggregatorV2 takes advantage of this by seeking
in each iterator to find a covering tombstone in ShouldDelete, while
doing minimal work in AddTombstones. The old RangeDelAggregator is still
used during flush/compaction for now, though RangeDelAggregatorV2 will
support those uses in a future PR.

Summary:
This allows tombstone fragmenting to only be performed when the table is opened, and cached for subsequent accesses.
On the same DB used in #4449, running `readrandom` results in the following:
```
readrandom : 0.983 micros/op 1017076 ops/sec; 78.3 MB/s (63103 of 100000 found)
```
Now that Get performance in the presence of range tombstones is reasonable, I also compared the performance between a DB with range tombstones, "expanded" range tombstones (several point tombstones that cover the same keys the equivalent range tombstone would cover, a common workaround for DeleteRange), and no range tombstones. The created DBs had 5 million keys each, and DeleteRange was called at regular intervals (depending on the total number of range tombstones being written) after 4.5 million Puts. The table below summarizes the results of a `readwhilewriting` benchmark (in order to provide somewhat more realistic results):
```

After a large enough quantity of range tombstones are written, range tombstone Gets can become faster than reading from an equivalent DB with several point tombstones.

Summary:
Previously, range tombstones were accumulated from every level, which
was necessary if a range tombstone in a higher level covered a key in a lower
level. However, RangeDelAggregator::AddTombstones's complexity is based on
the number of tombstones that are currently stored in it, which is wasteful in
the Get case, where we only need to know the highest sequence number of range
tombstones that cover the key from higher levels, and compute the highest covering
sequence number at the current level. This change introduces this optimization, and
removes the use of RangeDelAggregator from the Get path.
In the benchmark results, the following command was used to initialize the database:
```
./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/5k-rts -use_existing_db=false -benchmarks=filluniquerandom -write_buffer_size=1048576 -compression_type=lz4 -target_file_size_base=1048576 -max_bytes_for_level_base=4194304 -value_size=112 -key_size=16 -block_size=4096 -level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=true -num=5000000 -max_background_jobs=12 -benchmark_write_rate_limit=20971520 -range_tombstone_width=100 -writes_per_range_tombstone=100 -max_num_range_tombstones=50000 -bloom_bits=8
```
...and the following command was used to measure read throughput:
```
./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/5k-rts/ -use_existing_db=true -benchmarks=readrandom -disable_auto_compactions=true -num=5000000 -reads=100000 -threads=32
```
The filluniquerandom command was only run once, and the resulting database was used
to measure read performance before and after the PR. Both binaries were compiled with
`DEBUG_LEVEL=0`.
Readrandom results before PR:
```
readrandom : 4.544 micros/op 220090 ops/sec; 16.9 MB/s (63103 of 100000 found)
```
Readrandom results after PR:
```
readrandom : 11.147 micros/op 89707 ops/sec; 6.9 MB/s (63103 of 100000 found)
```
So it's actually slower right now, but this PR paves the way for future optimizations (see #4493).

Summary:
Memtables are selected for flushing by the flush job. Currently we
have listener which is invoked when memtables for a column family are
flushed. That listener does not indicate which memtable was flushed in
the notification. If clients want to know if particular data in the
memtable was retired, there is no straight forward way to know this.
This method will help users who implement memtablerep factory and extend
interface for memtablerep, to know if the data in the memtable was
retired.
Another option that was tried, was to depend on memtable destructor to
be called after flush to mark that data was persisted. This works all
the time but sometimes there can huge delays between actual flush
happening and memtable getting destroyed. Hence, if anyone who is
waiting for data to persist will have to wait that longer.
It is expected that anyone who is implementing this method to have
return quickly as it blocks RocksDB.

Summary:
This patch record min log number to keep to the manifest while flushing SST files to ignore them and any WAL older than them during recovery. This is to avoid scenarios when we have a gap between the WAL files are fed to the recovery procedure. The gap could happen by for example out-of-order WAL deletion. Such gap could cause problems in 2PC recovery where the prepared and commit entry are placed into two separate WAL and gap in the WALs could result into not processing the WAL with the commit entry and hence breaking the 2PC recovery logic.
Before the commit, for 2PC case, we determined which log number to keep in FindObsoleteFiles(). We looked at the earliest logs with outstanding prepare entries, or prepare entries whose respective commit or abort are in memtable. With the commit, the same calculation is done while we apply the SST flush. Just before installing the flush file, we precompute the earliest log file to keep after the flush finishes using the same logic (but skipping the memtables just flushed), record this information to the manifest entry for this new flushed SST file. This pre-computed value is also remembered in memory, and will later be used to determine whether a log file can be deleted. This value is unlikely to change until next flush because the commit entry will stay in memtable. (In WritePrepared, we could have removed the older log files as soon as all prepared entries are committed. It's not yet done anyway. Even if we do it, the only thing we loss with this new approach is earlier log deletion between two flushes, which does not guarantee to happen anyway because the obsolete file clean-up function is only executed after flush or compaction)
This min log number to keep is stored in the manifest using the safely-ignore customized field of AddFile entry, in order to guarantee that the DB generated using newer release can be opened by previous releases no older than 4.2.

Summary:
Add kTypeBlobIndex value type, which will be used by blob db only, to insert a (key, blob_offset) KV pair. The purpose is to
1. Make it possible to open existing rocksdb instance as blob db. Existing value will be of kTypeIndex type, while value inserted by blob db will be of kTypeBlobIndex.
2. Make rocksdb able to detect if the db contains value written by blob db, if so return error.
3. Make it possible to have blob db optionally store value in SST file (with kTypeValue type) or as a blob value (with kTypeBlobIndex type).
The root db (DBImpl) basically pretended kTypeBlobIndex are normal value on write. On Get if is_blob is provided, return whether the value read is of kTypeBlobIndex type, or return Status::NotSupported() status if is_blob is not provided. On scan allow_blob flag is pass and if the flag is true, return wether the value is of kTypeBlobIndex type via iter->IsBlob().
Changes on blob db side will be in a separate patch.

- Added support for `Version` to return iterators over range deletions in a given level. Previously, we piggybacked getting range deletions onto `Version`'s `Get()` / `AddIterator()` functions by passing them a `RangeDelAggregator*`. But file ingestion needs to get iterators over range deletions, not populate an aggregator (since the aggregator does collapsing and doesn't expose the actual ranges).

Summary:
Currently the point lookup values are copied to a string provided by the user.
This incures an extra memcpy cost. This patch allows doing point lookup
via a PinnableSlice which pins the source memory location (instead of
copying their content) and releases them after the content is consumed
by the user. The old API of Get(string) is translated to the new API
underneath.
Here is the summary for improvements:
1. value 100 byte: 1.8% regular, 1.2% merge values
2. value 1k byte: 11.5% regular, 7.5% merge values
3. value 10k byte: 26% regular, 29.9% merge values
The improvement for merge could be more if we extend this approach to
pin the merge output and delay the full merge operation until the user
actually needs it. We have put that for future work.
PS:
Sometimes we observe a small decrease in performance when switching from
t5452014 to this patch but with the old Get(string) API. The difference
is a little and could be noise. More importantly it is safely
cancelled

- added two arguments *uint64_t log_used = nullptr, uint64_t log_ref = 0;
- *log_used is an output argument which will return the log number which the incoming batch was inserted into, 0 if no WAL insert took place.
- log_ref is a supplied log_number which all memtables inserted into will reference after the batch insert takes place. This number will reside in 'FindMinPrepLogReferencedByMemTable()' until all Memtables insertinto have flushed.
- Recovery/writepath is now aware of prepared batches and commit and rollback markers.

Not yet implemented would be a way of enuring the memtable has some minimum amount of history so that we won't fail to commit when the memtable is empty. You should probably start with transaction.h to get an overview of what is currently supported.
Test Plan: Added a new test, but still need to look into stress testing.

Summary:
For transactions, we are using the memtables to validate that there are no write conflicts. But after flushing, we don't have any memtables, and transactions could fail to commit. So we want to someone keep around some extra history to use for conflict checking. In addition, we want to provide a way to increase the size of this history if too many transactions fail to commit.
After chatting with people, it seems like everyone prefers just using Memtables to store this history (instead of a separate history structure). It seems like the best place for this is abstracted inside the memtable_list. I decide to create a separate list in MemtableListVersion as using the same list complicated the flush/installalflushresults logic too much.
This diff adds a new parameter to control how much memtable history to keep around after flushing. However, it sounds like people aren't too fond of adding new parameters. So I am making the default size of flushed+not-flushed memtables be set to max_write_buffers. This should not change the maximum amount of memory used, but make it more likely we're using closer the the limit. (We are now postponing deleting flushed memtables until the max_write_buffer limit is reached). So while we might use more memory on average, we are still obeying the limit set (and you could argue it's better to go ahead and use up memory now instead of waiting for a write stall to happen to test this limit).
However, if people are opposed to this default behavior, we can easily set it to 0 and require this parameter be set in order to use transactions.
Test Plan: Added a xfunc test to play around with setting different values of this parameter in all tests. Added testing in memtablelist_test and planning on adding more testing here.

Summary: Add a DB property for number of deletions in memtables. It can sometimes help people debug slowness because of too many deletes.
Test Plan: Add test cases.
