Summary:
This PR continues the work in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4748 and https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4535 by adding a new DBOption `persist_stats_to_disk` which instructs RocksDB to persist stats history to RocksDB itself. When statistics is enabled, and both options `stats_persist_period_sec` and `persist_stats_to_disk` are set, RocksDB will periodically write stats to a built-in column family in the following form: key -> (timestamp in microseconds)#(stats name), value -> stats value. The existing API `GetStatsHistory` will detect the current value of `persist_stats_to_disk` and either read from in-memory data structure or from the hidden column family on disk.
