Summary:
This PR does a few things:
1. The MockFileSystem class was split out from the MockEnv. This change would theoretically allow a MockFileSystem to be used by other Environments as well (if we created a means of constructing one). The MockFileSystem implements a FileSystem in its entirety and does not rely on any Wrapper implementation.
2. Make the RocksDB test suite work when MOCK_ENV=1 and ENCRYPTED_ENV=1 are set. To accomplish this, a few things were needed:
- The tests that tried to use the "wrong" environment (Env::Default() instead of env_) were updated
- The MockFileSystem was changed to support the features it was missing or mishandled (such as recursively deleting files in a directory or supporting renaming of a directory).
3. Updated the test framework to have a ROCKSDB_GTEST_SKIP macro. This can be used to flag tests that are skipped. Currently, this defaults to doing nothing (marks the test as SUCCESS) but will mark the tests as SKIPPED when RocksDB is upgraded to a version of gtest that supports this (gtest-1.10).
I have run a full "make check" with MEM_ENV, ENCRYPTED_ENV, both, and neither under both MacOS and RedHat. A few tests were disabled/skipped for the MEM/ENCRYPTED cases. The error_handler_fs_test fails/hangs for MEM_ENV (presumably a timing problem) and I will introduce another PR/issue to track that problem. (I will also push a change to disable those tests soon). There is one more test in DBTest2 that also fails which I need to investigate or skip before this PR is merged.
Theoretically, this PR should also allow the test suite to run against an Env loaded from the registry, though I do not have one to try it with currently.
Finally, once this is accepted, it would be nice if there was a CircleCI job to run these tests on a checkin so this effort does not become stale. I do not know how to do that, so if someone could write that job, it would be appreciated :)

Summary:
This PR addresses some build and functional issues on MSVC targets, as a step towards an eventual goal of having RocksDB build successfully for Windows on ARM64.
Addressed issues include:
- BitsSetToOne and CountTrailingZeroBits do not compile on non-x64 MSVC targets. A fallback implementation of BitsSetToOne when Intel intrinsics are not available is added, based on the C++20 `<bit>` popcount implementation in Microsoft's STL.
- The implementation of FloorLog2 for MSVC targets (including x64) gives incorrect results. The unit test easily detects this, but CircleCI is currently configured to only run a specific set of tests for Windows CMake builds, so this seems to have been unnoticed.
- AsmVolatilePause does not use YieldProcessor on Windows ARM64 targets, even though it is available.
- When CondVar::TimedWait calls Microsoft STL's condition_variable::wait_for, it can potentially trigger a bug (just recently fixed in the upcoming VS 16.8's STL) that deadlocks various tests that wait for a timer to execute, since `Timer::Run` doesn't get a chance to execute before being blocked by the test function acquiring the mutex.
- In c_test, `GetTempDir` assumes a POSIX-style temp path.
- `NormalizePath` did not eliminate consecutive POSIX-style path separators on Windows, resulting in test failures in e.g., wal_manager_test.
- Various other test failures.
In a followup PR I hope to modify CircleCI's config.yml to invoke all RocksDB unit tests in Windows CMake builds with CTest, instead of the current use of `run_ci_db_test.ps1` which requires individual tests to be specified and is missing many of the existing tests.
Notes from peterd: FloorLog2 is not yet used in production code (it's for something in progress). I also added a few more inexpensive platform-dependent tests to Windows CircleCI runs. And included facebook/folly#1461 as requested

Summary:
In the current code base, we use Status to get and store the returned status from the call. Specifically, for IO related functions, the current Status cannot reflect the IO Error details such as error scope, error retryable attribute, and others. With the implementation of https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5761, we have the new Wrapper for IO, which returns IOStatus instead of Status. However, the IOStatus is purged at the lower level of write path and transferred to Status.
The first job of this PR is to pass the IOStatus to the write path (flush, WAL write, and Compaction). The second job is to identify the Retryable IO Error as HardError, and set the bg_error_ as HardError. In this case, the DB Instance becomes read only. User is informed of the Status and need to take actions to deal with it (e.g., call db->Resume()).

Summary:
There are situations when RocksDB tries to recover, but the db is in an inconsistent state due to SST files referenced in the MANIFEST being missing. In this case, previous RocksDB will just fail the recovery and return a non-ok status.
This PR enables another possibility. During recovery, RocksDB checks possible MANIFEST files, and try to recover to the most recent state without missing table file. `VersionSet::Recover()` applies version edits incrementally and "materializes" a version only when this version does not reference any missing table file. After processing the entire MANIFEST, the version created last will be the latest version.
`DBImpl::Recover()` calls `VersionSet::Recover()`. Afterwards, WAL replay will *not* be performed.
To use this capability, set `options.best_efforts_recovery = true` when opening the db. Best-efforts recovery is currently incompatible with atomic flush.

Summary:
Each DB has a globally unique ID. A DB can be physically copied around, or backed-up and restored, and the users should be identify the same DB. This unique ID right now is stored as plain text in file IDENTITY under the DB directory. This approach introduces at least two problems: (1) the file is not checksumed; (2) the source of truth of a DB is the manifest file, which can be copied separately from IDENTITY file, causing the DB ID to be wrong.
The goal of this PR is solve this problem by moving the DB ID to manifest. To begin with we will write to both identity file and manifest. Write to Manifest is controlled via the flag write_dbid_to_manifest in Options and default is false.

Summary:
This is a new API added to db.h to allow for fetching all merge operands associated with a Key. The main motivation for this API is to support use cases where doing a full online merge is not necessary as it is performance sensitive. Example use-cases:
1. Update subset of columns and read subset of columns -
Imagine a SQL Table, a row is encoded as a K/V pair (as it is done in MyRocks). If there are many columns and users only updated one of them, we can use merge operator to reduce write amplification. While users only read one or two columns in the read query, this feature can avoid a full merging of the whole row, and save some CPU.
2. Updating very few attributes in a value which is a JSON-like document -
Updating one attribute can be done efficiently using merge operator, while reading back one attribute can be done more efficiently if we don't need to do a full merge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
API :
Status GetMergeOperands(
const ReadOptions& options, ColumnFamilyHandle* column_family,
const Slice& key, PinnableSlice* merge_operands,
GetMergeOperandsOptions* get_merge_operands_options,
int* number_of_operands)
Example usage :
int size = 100;
int number_of_operands = 0;
std::vector<PinnableSlice> values(size);
GetMergeOperandsOptions merge_operands_info;
db_->GetMergeOperands(ReadOptions(), db_->DefaultColumnFamily(), "k1", values.data(), merge_operands_info, &number_of_operands);
Description :
Returns all the merge operands corresponding to the key. If the number of merge operands in DB is greater than merge_operands_options.expected_max_number_of_operands no merge operands are returned and status is Incomplete. Merge operands returned are in the order of insertion.
merge_operands-> Points to an array of at-least merge_operands_options.expected_max_number_of_operands and the caller is responsible for allocating it. If the status returned is Incomplete then number_of_operands will contain the total number of merge operands found in DB for key.

Summary:
Currently in `DBImpl::PurgeObsoleteFiles`, the list of candidate files is create through a combination of calling LogFileName using `log_delete_files` and `full_scan_candidate_files`.
In full_scan_candidate_files, the filenames look like this
{file_name = "074715.log", file_path = "/txlogs/3306"},
but LogFileName produces filenames like this that prepends a slash:
{file_name = "/074715.log", file_path = "/txlogs/3306"},
This confuses the dedup step here: bb4178066d/db/db_impl/db_impl_files.cc (L339-L345)
Because duplicates still exist, DeleteFile is called on the same file twice, and hits an error on the second try. Error message: Failed to mark /txlogs/3302/764418.log as trash.
The root cause is the use of `kDumbDbName` when generating file names, it creates file names like /074715.log. This PR removes the use of `kDumbDbName` and create paths without leading '/' when dbname can be ignored.

Summary:
Create a new type of file on startup if it doesn't already exist called DBID.
This will store a unique number generated from boost library's uuid header file.
The use-case is to identify the case of a db losing all its data and coming back up either empty or from an image(backup/live replica's recovery)
the key point to note is that DBID is not stored in a backup or db snapshot
It's preferable to use Boost for uuid because:
1) A non-standard way of generating uuid is not good
2) /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid generates a uuid but only on linux environments and the solution would not be clean
3) c++ doesn't have any direct way to get a uuid
4) Boost is a very good library that was already having linkage in rocksdb from third-party
Note: I had to update the TOOLCHAIN_REV in build files to get latest verison of boost from third-party as the older version had a bug.
I had to put Wno-uninitialized in Makefile because boost-1.51 has an unitialized variable and rocksdb would not comiple otherwise. Latet open-source for boost is 1.54 but is not there in third-party. I have notified the concerned people in fbcode about it.
@kailiu : While releasing to third-party, an additional dependency will need to be created for boost in TARGETS file. I can help identify.
Test Plan:
Expand db_test to test 2 cases
1) Restarting db with Id file present - verify that no change to Id
2)Restarting db with Id file deleted - verify that a different Id is there after reopen
Also run make all check
