Summary: In one of the perf, I shows 10%-25% CPU costs of MemTableIterator.Seek(), when doing dynamic prefix seek, are spent on checking whether we need to do bloom filter check or finding out the prefix extractor. Seems that more level of pointer checking makes CPU cache miss more likely. This patch makes things slightly simpler by copying pointer of bloom of prefix extractor into the iterator.

This diff fixes 2 hacks:
* The callback function can modify the existing value inplace, if the merged value fits within the existing buffer size. But currently the existing buffer size is not being modified. Now the callback recieves a int* allowing the size to be modified. Since size is encoded as a varint in the internal key for memtable. It might happen that the entire value might have be copied to the new location if the new size varint is smaller than the existing size varint.
* The callback function has 3 functionalities
1. Modify existing buffer inplace, and update size correspondingly. Now to indicate that, Returns 1.
2. Generate a new buffer indicating merged value. Returns 2.
3. Fails to do either of above, based on whatever application logic. Returns 0.

Summary:
I will submit a sequence of diffs that are preparing master branch for column families. There are a lot of implicit assumptions in the code that are making column family implementation hard. If I make the change only in column family branch, it will make merging back to master impossible.
Most of the diffs will be simple code refactorings, so I hope we can have fast turnaround time. Feel free to grab me in person to discuss any of them.
This diff removes number of level check from VersionEdit. It is used only when VersionEdit is read, not written, but has to be set when it is written. I believe it is a right thing to make VersionEdit dumb and check consistency on the caller side. This will also make it much easier to implement Column Families, since different column families can have different number of levels.

2. Latest value type is a 'put' ie kTypeValue
3. New value size is less than existing value, to avoid reallocating memory

Summary:
This patch adds three new MemTableRep's: UnsortedRep, PrefixHashRep, and VectorRep.
UnsortedRep stores keys in an std::unordered_map of std::sets. When an iterator is requested, it dumps the keys into an std::set and iterates over that.
VectorRep stores keys in an std::vector. When an iterator is requested, it creates a copy of the vector and sorts it using std::sort. The iterator accesses that new vector.
PrefixHashRep stores keys in an unordered_map mapping prefixes to ordered sets.
I also added one API change. I added a function MemTableRep::MarkImmutable. This function is called when the rep is added to the immutable list. It doesn't do anything yet, but it seems like that could be useful. In particular, for the vectorrep, it means we could elide the extra copy and just sort in place. The only reason I haven't done that yet is because the use of the ArenaAllocator complicates things (I can elaborate on this if needed).

Added a counter NUMBER_MERGE_FAILURES and appropriately updated db/merge_helper.cc

Summary:
Here are the major changes to the Merge Interface. It has been expanded
to handle cases where the MergeOperator is not associative. It does so by stacking
up merge operations while scanning through the key history (i.e.: during Get() or
Compaction), until a valid Put/Delete/end-of-history is encountered; it then
applies all of the merge operations in the correct sequence starting with the
base/sentinel value.
I have also introduced an "AssociativeMerge" function which allows the user to
take advantage of associative merge operations (such as in the case of counters).
The implementation will always attempt to merge the operations/operands themselves
together when they are encountered, and will resort to the "stacking" method if
and only if the "associative-merge" fails.
This implementation is conjectured to allow MergeOperator to handle the general
case, while still providing the user with the ability to take advantage of certain
efficiencies in their own merge-operator / data-structure.
NOTE: This is a preliminary diff. This must still go through a lot of review,
revision, and testing. Feedback welcome!
Test Plan:
-This is a preliminary diff. I have only just begun testing/debugging it.
-I will be testing this with the existing MergeOperator use-cases and unit-tests
(counters, string-append, and redis-lists)
-I will be "desk-checking" and walking through the code with the help gdb.
-I will find a way of stress-testing the new interface / implementation using
db_bench, db_test, merge_test, and/or db_stress.
-I will ensure that my tests cover all cases: Get-Memtable,
Get-Immutable-Memtable, Get-from-Disk, Iterator-Range-Scan, Flush-Memtable-to-L0,
Compaction-L0-L1, Compaction-Ln-L(n+1), Put/Delete found, Put/Delete not-found,
end-of-history, end-of-file, etc.
