Summary:
Use non mmapd files for Write-Ahead log.
Earlier use of MMaped files. made the log iterator read ahead and miss records.
Now the reader and writer will point to the same physical location.
There is no perf regression :
./db_bench --benchmarks=fillseq --db=/dev/shm/mmap_test --num=$(million 20) --use_existing_db=0 --threads=2
with This diff :
fillseq : 10.756 micros/op 185281 ops/sec; 20.5 MB/s
without this dif :
fillseq : 11.085 micros/op 179676 ops/sec; 19.9 MB/s

Summary:
This patch allows an application to specify whether to use bufferedio,
reads-via-mmaps and writes-via-mmaps per database. Earlier, there
was a global static variable that was used to configure this functionality.
The default setting remains the same (and is backward compatible):
1. use bufferedio
2. do not use mmaps for reads
3. use mmap for writes
4. use readaheads for reads needed for compaction
I also added a parameter to db_bench to be able to explicitly specify
whether to do readaheads for compactions or not.
Test Plan: make check
