Summary:
For every merge operand encountered for a key in the read path we now have the ability to decide whether to look further (to retrieve more merge operands for the key) or stop and invoke the merge operator to return the value. The user needs to override `ShouldMerge()` method with a condition to terminate search when true to avail this facility.
This has a couple of advantages:
1. It helps in limiting the number of merge operands that are looked at to compute a value as part of a user Get operation.
2. It allows to peek at a merge key-value to see if further merge operands need to look at.
Example: Limiting the number of merge operands that are looked at: Lets say you have 10 merge operands for a key spread over various levels. If you only want RocksDB to look at the latest two merge operands instead of all 10 to compute the value, it is now possible with this PR. You can set the condition in `ShouldMerge()` to return true when the size of the operand list is 2. Look at the example implementation in the unit test. Without this PR, a Get might look at all the 10 merge operands in different levels before invoking the merge-operator.
Added a new unit test.
Made sure that there is no perf regression by running benchmarks.

Summary:
Moved MergeOperatorPinning tests from db_test2.cc to db_merge_operator_test.cc.
[This is the same code as PR #2104 , which has already been reviewed, but I am creating a new PR as I cannot import from #2104 onto phabricator anymore even after rebasing. I'll close and discard #2104.]

Iterator should be in corrupted status if merge operator return false.
Also add test to make sure if max_successive_merges is hit during write,
data will not be lost.
