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:
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.

This reverts commit 73f21a7b21.
It breaks compatibility. When created a DB using a build with this new change, opening the DB and reading the data will fail with this error:
"Corruption: Can't access /000000.sst: IO error: while stat a file for size: /tmp/xxxx/000000.sst: No such file or directory"
This is because the dummy AddFile4 entry generated by the new code will be treated as a real entry by an older build. The older build will think there is a real file with number 0, but there isn't such a file.

Summary:
Some Mongo+Rocks datasets in Parse's environment are not doing compactions very frequently. During the quiet period (with no IO), we'd like to schedule compactions so that our reads become faster. Also, aggressively compacting during quiet periods helps when write bursts happen. In addition, we also want to compact files that are containing deleted key ranges (like old oplog keys).
All of this is currently not possible with CompactRange() because it's single-threaded and blocks all other compactions from happening. Running CompactRange() risks an issue of blocking writes because we generate too much Level 0 files before the compaction is over. Stopping writes is very dangerous because they hold transaction locks. We tried running manual compaction once on Mongo+Rocks and everything fell apart.
MarkForCompaction() solves all of those problems. This is very light-weight manual compaction. It is lower priority than automatic compactions, which means it shouldn't interfere with background process keeping the LSM tree clean. However, if no automatic compactions need to be run (or we have extra background threads available), we will start compacting files that are marked for compaction.

Summary:
There are two versions of FindObsoleteFiles():
* full scan, which is executed every 6 hours (and it's terribly slow)
* no full scan, which is executed every time a background process finishes and iterator is deleted
This diff is optimizing the second case (no full scan). Here's what we do before the diff:
* Get the list of obsolete files (files with ref==0). Some files in obsolete_files set might actually be live.
* Get the list of live files to avoid deleting files that are live.
* Delete files that are in obsolete_files and not in live_files.
After this diff:
* The only files with ref==0 that are still live are files that have been part of move compaction. Don't include moved files in obsolete_files.
* Get the list of obsolete files (which exclude moved files).
* No need to get the list of live files, since all files in obsolete_files need to be deleted.
I'll post the benchmark results, but you can get the feel of it here: https://reviews.facebook.net/D30123
This depends on D30123.
P.S. We should do full scan only in failure scenarios, not every 6 hours. I'll do this in a follow-up diff.
