Summary: Similar to v2 (db and table code understands prefixes), but use ReadOptions as in v3. Also, make the CreateFilter code faster and cleaner.
Test Plan: make db_test; export LEVELDB_TESTS=PrefixScan; ./db_test

In particular, we add a new FilterPolicy class. An instance
of this class can be supplied in Options when opening a
database. If supplied, the instance is used to generate
summaries of keys (e.g., a bloom filter) which are placed in
sstables. These summaries are consulted by DB::Get() so we
can avoid reading sstable blocks that are guaranteed to not
contain the key we are looking for.
This change provides one implementation of FilterPolicy
based on bloom filters.
Other changes:
- Updated version number to 1.4.
- Some build tweaks.
- C binding for CompactRange.
- A few more benchmarks: deleteseq, deleterandom, readmissing, seekrandom.
- Minor .gitignore update.
