Summary:
(1) Report corruption if backup meta file has tailing data that was not read. This should fix: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/81 (also, @sdong reported similar issue)
(2) Don't use OS buffer when copying file to backup directory. We don't need the file in cache since we won't be reading it twice
(3) Don't delete newer backups when somebody tries to backup the diverged DB (restore from older backup, add new data, try to backup). Rather, just fail the new backup.

Summary: I think it looks nicer. In RocksDB we have both styles, but I think that static method is the more common version.

Summary:
Lots of clients have problems with using StackableDB interface. It's nice to have BackupableDB as a layer on top of DB, but not necessary.
This diff exports BackupEngine, which can be used to create backups without forcing clients to use StackableDB interface.

Summary:
This diff introduces some features that were requested by two internal customers:
* Ability for backups not to share table files, because we can't guarantee that equal filename means equal content accross replicas
* Ability for two threads to call EnableFileDeletions() and DisableFileDeletions()
* Ability to stop backup from another thread and not slow down the DB close
* Copy the files to the temporary folder first and then atomically rename
Test Plan: Added some tests to backupable_db_test

Summary: We now delete backups with newer sequence number, so the clients don't have to handle confusing situations when they restore from backup.
Test Plan: added a unit test

Summary:
In this diff I present you BackupableDB v1. You can easily use it to backup your DB and it will do incremental snapshots for you.
Let's first describe how you would use BackupableDB. It's inheriting StackableDB interface so you can easily construct it with your DB object -- it will add a method RollTheSnapshot() to the DB object. When you call RollTheSnapshot(), current snapshot of the DB will be stored in the backup dir. To restore, you can just call RestoreDBFromBackup() on a BackupableDB (which is a static method) and it will restore all files from the backup dir. In the next version, it will even support automatic backuping every X minutes.
There are multiple things you can configure:
1. backup_env and db_env can be different, which is awesome because then you can easily backup to HDFS or wherever you feel like.
2. sync - if true, it *guarantees* backup consistency on machine reboot
3. number of snapshots to keep - this will keep last N snapshots around if you want, for some reason, be able to restore from an earlier snapshot. All the backuping is done in incremental fashion - if we already have 00010.sst, we will not copy it again. *IMPORTANT* -- This is based on assumption that 00010.sst never changes - two files named 00010.sst from the same DB will always be exactly the same. Is this true? I always copy manifest, current and log files.
4. You can decide if you want to flush the memtables before you backup, or you're fine with backing up the log files -- either way, you get a complete and consistent view of the database at a time of backup.
5. More things you can find in BackupableDBOptions
Here is the directory structure I use:
backup_dir/CURRENT_SNAPSHOT - just 4 bytes holding the latest snapshot
0, 1, 2, ... - files containing serialized version of each snapshot - containing a list of files
files/*.sst - sst files shared between snapshots - if one snapshot references 00010.sst and another one needs to backup it from the DB, it will just reference the same file
files/ 0/, 1/, 2/, ... - snapshot directories containing private snapshot files - current, manifest and log files
All the files are ref counted and deleted immediatelly when they get out of scope.
Some other stuff in this diff:
1. Added GetEnv() method to the DB. Discussed with @haobo and we agreed that it seems right thing to do.
2. Fixed StackableDB interface. The way it was set up before, I was not able to implement BackupableDB.
Test Plan:
I have a unittest, but please don't look at this yet. I just hacked it up to help me with debugging. I will write a lot of good tests and update the diff.
Also, `make asan_check`
