Summary:
The first key is used to defer reading the data block until this file gets to the top of merging iterator's heap. For short range scans, most files never make it to the top of the heap, so this change can reduce read amplification by a lot sometimes.
Consider the following workload. There are a few data streams (we'll be calling them "logs"), each stream consisting of a sequence of blobs (we'll be calling them "records"). Each record is identified by log ID and a sequence number within the log. RocksDB key is concatenation of log ID and sequence number (big endian). Reads are mostly relatively short range scans, each within a single log. Writes are mostly sequential for each log, but writes to different logs are randomly interleaved. Compactions are disabled; instead, when we accumulate a few tens of sst files, we create a new column family and start writing to it.
So, a typical sst file consists of a few ranges of blocks, each range corresponding to one log ID (we use FlushBlockPolicy to cut blocks at log boundaries). A typical read would go like this. First, iterator Seek() reads one block from each sst file. Then a series of Next()s move through one sst file (since writes to each log are mostly sequential) until the subiterator reaches the end of this log in this sst file; then Next() switches to the next sst file and reads sequentially from that, and so on. Often a range scan will only return records from a small number of blocks in small number of sst files; in this case, the cost of initial Seek() reading one block from each file may be bigger than the cost of reading the actually useful blocks.
Neither iterate_upper_bound nor bloom filters can prevent reading one block from each file in Seek(). But this PR can: if the index contains first key from each block, we don't have to read the block until this block actually makes it to the top of merging iterator's heap, so for short range scans we won't read any blocks from most of the sst files.
This PR does the deferred block loading inside value() call. This is not ideal: there's no good way to report an IO error from inside value(). As discussed with siying offline, it would probably be better to change InternalIterator's interface to explicitly fetch deferred value and get status. I'll do it in a separate PR.

Summary:
When using `PRIu64` type of printf specifier, current code base does the following:
```
#ifndef __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS
#define __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS
#endif
#include <inttypes.h>
```
However, this can be simplified to
```
#include <cinttypes>
```
as long as flag `-std=c++11` is used.
This should solve issues like https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5159

Summary:
Introduce BlockBasedTableOptions::index_shortening to give users control on which key shortening techniques to be used in building index blocks. Before this patch, both separators and successor keys where shortened in indexes. With this patch, the default is set to kShortenSeparators to only shorten the separators. Since each index block has many separators and only one successor (last key), the change should not have negative impact on index block size. However it should prevent many unnecessary block loads where due to approximation introduced by shorted successor, seek would land us to the previous block and then fix it by moving to the next one.

Summary:
After refactoring in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4158 the properties block is written after the index block. This breaks the existing logic in estimating the index size in partitioned indexes. The patch fixes that by using the accurate index block size, which is available since by the time we write the properties block, the index block is already written.
The patch also fixes an issue in estimating the partition size with format_version=3 which was resulting into partitions smaller than the configured metadata_block_size.

Summary:
Given that index value is a BlockHandle, which is basically an <offset, size> pair we can apply delta encoding on the values. The first value at each index restart interval encoded the full BlockHandle but the rest encode only the size. Refer to IndexBlockIter::DecodeCurrentValue for the detail of the encoding. This reduces the index size which helps using the block cache more efficiently. The feature is enabled with using format_version 4.
The feature comes with a bit of cpu overhead which should be paid back by the higher cache hits due to smaller index block size.
Results with sysbench read-only using 4k blocks and using 16 index restart interval:
Format 2:
19585 rocksdb read-only range=100
Format 3:
19569 rocksdb read-only range=100

Summary:
Run the basic range deletion tests against the standard set of
configurations. This testing exposed that files with hash indexes and
partitioned indexes were not handling the case where the file contained
only range deletions--i.e., where the index was empty.
Additionally file a TODO about the fact that range deletions are broken
when allow_mmap_reads = true is set.

Summary:
format_version 3 changes the format of index blocks by storing user keys instead of the internal keys, which saves 8-bytes per key. This patch extends the format to top-level indexes in partitioned index/filters.

Summary:
Index blocks have the same format as data blocks. The keys therefore similarly to the keys in the data blocks are internal keys, which means that in addition to the user key it also has 8 bytes that encodes sequence number and value type. This extra 8 bytes however is not necessary in index blocks since the index keys act as an separator between two data blocks. The only exception is when the last key of a block and the first key of the next block share the same user key, in which the sequence number is required to act as a separator.
The patch excludes the sequence from index keys only if the above special case does not happen for any of the index keys. It then records that in the property block. The reader looks at the property block to see if it should expect sequence numbers in the keys of the index block.s

Summary:
When Partitioning index/filter is enabled the user might need to check the index block size as well as the top-level index size via sst_dump. This patch records i) number of partitions, ii) top-level index size and make it accessible through sst_dump. The number of partitions for filters is the same as that of indexes. The top-level index for filters has a similar size to top-level index for indexes, so it is not repeated.
