Summary:
We have a lot of confusing code because of mixed, sometimes
completely opposite uses of of the term "raw block" or "raw contents",
sometimes within the same source file. For example, in `BlockBasedTableBuilder`,
`raw_block_contents` and `raw_size` generally referred to uncompressed block
contents and size, while `WriteRawBlock` referred to writing a block that
is already compressed if it is going to be. Meanwhile, in
`BlockBasedTable`, `raw_block_contents` either referred to a (maybe
compressed) block with trailer, or a maybe compressed block maybe
without trailer. (Note: left as follow-up work to use C++ typing to
better sort out the various kinds of BlockContents.)
This change primarily tries to apply some consistent terminology around
the kinds of block representations, avoiding the unclear "raw". (Any
meaning of "raw" assumes some bias toward the storage layer or toward
the logical data layer.) Preferred terminology:
* **Serialized block** - bytes that go into storage. For block-based table
(usually the case) this includes the block trailer. WART: block `size` may or
may not include the trailer; need to be clear about whether it does or not.
* **Maybe compressed block** - like a serialized block, but without the
trailer (or no promise of including a trailer). Must be accompanied by a
CompressionType.
* **Uncompressed block** - "payload" bytes that are either stored with no
compression, used as input to compression function, or result of
decompression function.
* **Parsed block** - an in-memory form of a block in block cache, as it is
used by the table reader. Different C++ types are used depending on the
block type (see block_like_traits.h).
Other refactorings:
* Misc corrections/improvements of internal API comments
* Remove a few misleading / unhelpful / redundant comments.
* Use move semantics in some places to simplify contracts
* Use better parameter names to indicate which parameters are used for
outputs
* Remove some extraneous `extern`
* Various clean-ups to `CacheDumperImpl` (mostly unnecessary code)

Summary:
This change standardizes on a new 16-byte cache key format for
block cache (incl compressed and secondary) and persistent cache (but
not table cache and row cache).
The goal is a really fast cache key with practically ideal stability and
uniqueness properties without external dependencies (e.g. from FileSystem).
A fixed key size of 16 bytes should enable future optimizations to the
concurrent hash table for block cache, which is a heavy CPU user /
bottleneck, but there appears to be measurable performance improvement
even with no changes to LRUCache.
This change replaces a lot of disjointed and ugly code handling cache
keys with calls to a simple, clean new internal API (cache_key.h).
(Preserving the old cache key logic under an option would be very ugly
and likely negate the performance gain of the new approach. Complete
replacement carries some inherent risk, but I think that's acceptable
with sufficient analysis and testing.)
The scheme for encoding new cache keys is complicated but explained
in cache_key.cc.
Also: EndianSwapValue is moved to math.h to be next to other bit
operations. (Explains some new include "math.h".) ReverseBits operation
added and unit tests added to hash_test for both.

Test Plan:
### Basic correctness
Several tests needed updates to work with the new functionality, mostly
because we are no longer relying on filesystem for stable cache keys
so table builders & readers need more context info to agree on cache
keys. This functionality is so core, a huge number of existing tests
exercise the cache key functionality.
### Performance
Create db with
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=3000000 -partition_index_and_filters`
And test performance with
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -readonly -use_existing_db -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=readrandom -num=3000000 -duration=30 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks -cache_size=250000 -threads=4`
using DEBUG_LEVEL=0 and simultaneous before & after runs.
Before ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 121924
After ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 125385 (+2.8%)
### Collision probability
I have built a tool, ./cache_bench -stress_cache_key to broadly simulate host-wide cache activity
over many months, by making some pessimistic simplifying assumptions:
* Every generated file has a cache entry for every byte offset in the file (contiguous range of cache keys)
* All of every file is cached for its entire lifetime
We use a simple table with skewed address assignment and replacement on address collision
to simulate files coming & going, with quite a variance (super-Poisson) in ages. Some output
with `./cache_bench -stress_cache_key -sck_keep_bits=40`:
```
Total cache or DBs size: 32TiB Writing 925.926 MiB/s or 76.2939TiB/day
Multiply by 9.22337e+18 to correct for simulation losses (but still assume whole file cached)
```
These come from default settings of 2.5M files per day of 32 MB each, and
`-sck_keep_bits=40` means that to represent a single file, we are only keeping 40 bits of
the 128-bit cache key. With file size of 2\*\*25 contiguous keys (pessimistic), our simulation
is about 2\*\*(128-40-25) or about 9 billion billion times more prone to collision than reality.
More default assumptions, relatively pessimistic:
* 100 DBs in same process (doesn't matter much)
* Re-open DB in same process (new session ID related to old session ID) on average
every 100 files generated
* Restart process (all new session IDs unrelated to old) 24 times per day
After enough data, we get a result at the end:
```
(keep 40 bits) 17 collisions after 2 x 90 days, est 10.5882 days between (9.76592e+19 corrected)
```
If we believe the (pessimistic) simulation and the mathematical generalization, we would need to run a billion machines all for 97 billion days to expect a cache key collision. To help verify that our generalization ("corrected") is robust, we can make our simulation more precise with `-sck_keep_bits=41` and `42`, which takes more running time to get enough data:
```
(keep 41 bits) 16 collisions after 4 x 90 days, est 22.5 days between (1.03763e+20 corrected)
(keep 42 bits) 19 collisions after 10 x 90 days, est 47.3684 days between (1.09224e+20 corrected)
```
The generalized prediction still holds. With the `-sck_randomize` option, we can see that we are beating "random" cache keys (except offsets still non-randomized) by a modest amount (roughly 20x less collision prone than random), which should make us reasonably comfortable even in "degenerate" cases:
```
197 collisions after 1 x 90 days, est 0.456853 days between (4.21372e+18 corrected)
```
I've run other tests to validate other conditions behave as expected, never behaving "worse than random" unless we start chopping off structured data.

Summary:
* Checksums are now checked on meta blocks unless specifically
suppressed or not applicable (e.g. plain table). (Was other way around.)
This means a number of cases that were not checking checksums now are,
including direct read TableProperties in Version::GetTableProperties
(fixed in meta_blocks ReadTableProperties), reading any block from
PersistentCache (fixed in BlockFetcher), read TableProperties in
SstFileDumper (ldb/sst_dump/BackupEngine) before table reader open,
maybe more.
* For that to work, I moved the global_seqno+TableProperties checksum
logic to the shared table/ code, because that is used by many utilies
such as SstFileDumper.
* Also for that to work, we have to know when we're dealing with a block
that has a checksum (trailer), so added that capability to Footer based
on magic number, and from there BlockFetcher.
* Knowledge of trailer presence has also fixed a problem where other
table formats were reading blocks including bytes for a non-existant
trailer--and awkwardly kind-of not using them, e.g. no shared code
checking checksums. (BlockFetcher compression type was populated
incorrectly.) Now we only read what is needed.
* Minimized code duplication and differing/incompatible/awkward
abstractions in meta_blocks.{cc,h} (e.g. SeekTo in metaindex block
without parsing block handle)
* Moved some meta block handling code from table_properties*.*
* Moved some code specific to block-based table from shared table/ code
to BlockBasedTable class. The checksum stuff means we can't completely
separate it, but things that don't need to be in shared table/ code
should not be.
* Use unique_ptr rather than raw ptr in more places. (Note: you can
std::move from unique_ptr to shared_ptr.)
Without enhancements to GetPropertiesOfAllTablesTest (see below),
net reduction of roughly 100 lines of code.

Test Plan:
existing tests and
* Enhanced DBTablePropertiesTest.GetPropertiesOfAllTablesTest to verify that
checksums are now checked on direct read of table properties by TableCache
(new test would fail before this change)
* Also enhanced DBTablePropertiesTest.GetPropertiesOfAllTablesTest to test
putting table properties under old meta name
* Also generally enhanced that same test to actually test what it was
supposed to be testing already, by kicking things out of table cache when
we don't want them there.

Summary:
We carry compression type and "cachable" variables for every block in the block cache, while they take well-known values. 8-byte is wasted for each block (2-byte for useful information but it takes 8 bytes because of padding). With this change, these two variables are removed.
The cachable information is only useful in the process of reading the block. We use other information to infer from it. For compressed blocks, the compression type is a part of the block content itself so we can get it from there.
Some code is slightly refactored so that the cachable information can flow better.
Another change is to only use class BlockContents for compressed block, and narrow the class Block to only be used for uncompressed blocks, including blocks in compressed block cache. This can make the Block class less confusing. It also saves tens of bytes for each block in compressed block cache.

Summary:
Added a new abstraction to cache page to RocksDB designed for the read
cache use.
RocksDB current block cache is more of an object cache. For the persistent read cache
project, what we need is a page cache equivalent. This changes adds a cache
abstraction to RocksDB to cache pages called PersistentCache. PersistentCache can cache
uncompressed pages or raw pages (content as in filesystem). The user can
choose to operate PersistentCache either in COMPRESSED or UNCOMPRESSED mode.
