Summary:
We are going to expose properties of all tables to end users through "some" db interface.
However, current design doesn't naturally fit for this need, which is because:
1. If a table presents in table cache, we cannot simply return the reference to its table properties, because the table may be destroy after compaction (and we don't want to hold the ref of the version).
2. Copy table properties is OK, but it's slow.
Thus in this diff, I change the table reader's interface to return a shared pointer (for const table properties), instead a const refernce.

Summary:
This diff enables the command line tool `sst_dump` to work for sst files
under plain table format. Changes include:
* In tools/sst_dump.cc:
- add support for plain table format
- display prefix_extractor information when --show_properties is on
* In table/format.cc
- Now the table magic number of a Footer can be later initialized
via ReadFooterFromFile().
* In table/meta_bocks:
- add function ReadTableMagicNumber() that reads the magic number of
the specified file.
Minor fixes:
- remove a duplicate #include in table/table_test.cc
- fix a commentary typo in include/rocksdb/memtablerep.h
- fix lint errors.
Test Plan:
Runs sst_dump with both block-based and plain-table format files with
different arguments, specifically those with --show-properties and --from.

Summary:
This is the last diff that adds the property block to plain table.
The format resembles that of the block-based table: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Rocksdb-table-format
[data block]
[meta block 1: stats block]
[meta block 2: future extended block]
...
[meta block K: future extended block] (we may add more meta blocks in the future)
[metaindex block]
[index block: we only have the placeholder here, we can add persistent index block in the future]
[Footer: contains magic number, handle to metaindex block and index block]
<end_of_file>
Test Plan: extended existing property block test.
