Summary:
This commit implements automatic recovery from a Status::NoSpace() error
during background operations such as write callback, flush and
compaction. The broad design is as follows -
1. Compaction errors are treated as soft errors and don't put the
database in read-only mode. A compaction is delayed until enough free
disk space is available to accomodate the compaction outputs, which is
estimated based on the input size. This means that users can continue to
write, and we rely on the WriteController to delay or stop writes if the
compaction debt becomes too high due to persistent low disk space
condition
2. Errors during write callback and flush are treated as hard errors,
i.e the database is put in read-only mode and goes back to read-write
only fater certain recovery actions are taken.
3. Both types of recovery rely on the SstFileManagerImpl to poll for
sufficient disk space. We assume that there is a 1-1 mapping between an
SFM and the underlying OS storage container. For cases where multiple
DBs are hosted on a single storage container, the user is expected to
allocate a single SFM instance and use the same one for all the DBs. If
no SFM is specified by the user, DBImpl::Open() will allocate one, but
this will be one per DB and each DB will recover independently. The
recovery implemented by SFM is as follows -
a) On the first occurance of an out of space error during compaction,
subsequent
compactions will be delayed until the disk free space check indicates
enough available space. The required space is computed as the sum of
input sizes.
b) The free space check requirement will be removed once the amount of
free space is greater than the size reserved by in progress
compactions when the first error occured
c) If the out of space error is a hard error, a background thread in
SFM will poll for sufficient headroom before triggering the recovery
of the database and putting it in write-only mode. The headroom is
calculated as the sum of the write_buffer_size of all the DB instances
associated with the SFM
4. EventListener callbacks will be called at the start and completion of
automatic recovery. Users can disable the auto recov ery in the start
callback, and later initiate it manually by calling DB::Resume()
Todo:
1. More extensive testing
2. Add disk full condition to db_stress (follow-on PR)

Summary:
Currently, if RocksDB encounters errors during a write operation (user requested or BG operations), it sets DBImpl::bg_error_ and fails subsequent writes. This PR allows the DB to be resumed for certain classes of errors. It consists of 3 parts -
1. Introduce Status::Severity in rocksdb::Status to indicate whether a given error can be recovered from or not
2. Refactor the error handling code so that setting bg_error_ and deciding on severity is in one place
3. Provide an API for the user to clear the error and resume the DB instance
This whole change is broken up into multiple PRs. Initially, we only allow clearing the error for Status::NoSpace() errors during background flush/compaction. Subsequent PRs will expand this to include more errors and foreground operations such as Put(), and implement a polling mechanism for out-of-space errors.
