Summary:
I was investigating performance issues in the SstFileWriter and found all of the following:
- The SstFileWriter::Add() function created a local InternalKey every time it was called generating a allocation and free each time. Changed to have an InternalKey member variable that can be reset with the new InternalKey::Set() function.
- In SstFileWriter::Add() the smallest_key and largest_key values were assigned the result of a ToString() call, but it is simpler to just assign them directly from the user's key.
- The Slice class had no move constructor so each time one was returned from a function a new one had to be allocated, the old data copied to the new, and the old one was freed. I added the move constructor which also required a copy constructor and assignment operator.
- The BlockBuilder::CurrentSizeEstimate() function calculates the current estimate size, but was being called 2 or 3 times for each key added. I changed the class to maintain a running estimate (equal to the original calculation) so that the function can return an already calculated value.
- The code in BlockBuilder::Add() that calculated the shared bytes between the last key and the new key duplicated what Slice::difference_offset does, so I replaced it with the standard function.
- BlockBuilder::Add() had code to copy just the changed portion into the last key value (and asserted that it now matched the new key). It is more efficient just to copy the whole new key over.
- Moved this same code up into the 'if (use_delta_encoding_)' since the last key value is only needed when delta encoding is on.
- FlushBlockBySizePolicy::BlockAlmostFull calculated a standard deviation value each time it was called, but this information would only change if block_size of block_size_deviation changed, so I created a member variable to hold the value to avoid the calculation each time.
- Each PutVarint??() function has a buffer and calls std::string::append(). Two or three calls in a row could share a buffer and a single call to std::string::append().
Some of these will be helpful outside of the SstFileWriter. I'm not 100% the addition of the move constructor is appropriate as I wonder why this wasn't done before - maybe because of compiler compatibility? I tried it on gcc 4.8 and 4.9.
Test Plan: The changes should not affect the results so the existing tests should all still work and no new tests were added. The value of the changes was seen by manually testing the SstFileWriter class through MyRocks and adding timing code to identify problem areas.

Summary:
This adds a new metablock containing a shared dictionary that is used
to compress all data blocks in the SST file. The size of the shared dictionary
is configurable in CompressionOptions and defaults to 0. It's currently only
used for zlib/lz4/lz4hc, but the block will be stored in the SST regardless of
the compression type if the user chooses a nonzero dictionary size.
During compaction, computes the dictionary by randomly sampling the first
output file in each subcompaction. It pre-computes the intervals to sample
by assuming the output file will have the maximum allowable length. In case
the file is smaller, some of the pre-computed sampling intervals can be beyond
end-of-file, in which case we skip over those samples and the dictionary will
be a bit smaller. After the dictionary is generated using the first file in a
subcompaction, it is loaded into the compression library before writing each
block in each subsequent file of that subcompaction.
On the read path, gets the dictionary from the metablock, if it exists. Then,
loads that dictionary into the compression library before reading each block.

Summary:
Added the column family name to the properties block. This property
is omitted only if the property is unavailable, such as when RepairDB()
writes SST files.
In a next diff, I will change RepairDB to use this new property for
deciding to which column family an existing SST file belongs. If this
property is missing, it will add it to the "unknown" column family (same
as its existing behavior).
Test Plan:
New unit test:
$ ./db_table_properties_test --gtest_filter=DBTablePropertiesTest.GetColumnFamilyNameProperty

Summary:
SstFileWriter may create an sst file with no entries
Right now this will fail when being ingested using DB::AddFile() saying that the keys are corrupted

Summary: Pass column family ID through TablePropertiesCollectorFactory::CreateTablePropertiesCollector() so that users can identify which column family this file is for and handle it differently.
Test Plan: Add unit test scenarios in tests related to table properties collectors to verify the information passed in is correct.

Summary:
This is an initial version of bulk load feature
This diff allow us to create sst files, and then bulk load them later, right now the restrictions for loading an sst file are
(1) Memtables are empty
(2) Added sst files have sequence number = 0, and existing values in database have sequence number = 0
(3) Added sst files values are not overlapping
Test Plan: unit testing
