Summary:
This fixes the same performance issue that #3992 fixes but with much more invasive cleanup.
I'm more excited about this PR because it paves the way for fixing another problem we uncovered at Cockroach where range deletion tombstones can cause massive compactions. For example, suppose L4 contains deletions from [a, c) and [x, z) and no other keys, and L5 is entirely empty. L6, however, is full of data. When compacting L4 -> L5, we'll end up with one file that spans, massively, from [a, z). When we go to compact L5 -> L6, we'll have to rewrite all of L6! If, instead of range deletions in L4, we had keys a, b, x, y, and z, RocksDB would have been smart enough to create two files in L5: one for a and b and another for x, y, and z.
With the changes in this PR, it will be possible to adjust the compaction logic to split tombstones/start new output files when they would span too many files in the grandparent level.
ajkr please take a look when you have a minute!

Summary:
Before we were checking every file in the level which was unnecessary. We can piggyback onto the code for checking point-key overlap, which already opens all the files that could possibly contain overlapping range deletions. This PR makes us check just the range deletions from those files, so no extra ones will be opened.

Summary:
When deletion-collapsing mode is enabled (i.e., for DBIter/CompactionIterator), we maintain position in the tombstone maps across calls to ShouldDelete(). Since iterators often access keys sequentially (or reverse-sequentially), scanning forward/backward from the last position can be faster than binary-searching the map for every key.
- When Next() is invoked on an iterator, we use kForwardTraversal to scan forwards, if needed, until arriving at the range deletion containing the next key.
- Similarly for Prev(), we use kBackwardTraversal to scan backwards in the range deletion map.
- When the iterator seeks, we use kBinarySearch for repositioning
- After tombstones are added or before the first ShouldDelete() invocation, the current position is set to invalid, which forces kBinarySearch to be used.
- Non-iterator users (i.e., Get()) use kFullScan, which has the same behavior as before---scan the whole map for every key passed to ShouldDelete().

Summary:
Added a tombstone-collapsing mode to RangeDelAggregator, which eliminates overlap in the TombstoneMap. In this mode, we can check whether a tombstone covers a user key using upper_bound() (i.e., binary search). However, the tradeoff is the overhead to add tombstones is now higher, so at first I've only enabled it for range scans (compaction/flush/user iterators), where we expect a high number of calls to ShouldDelete() for the same tombstones. Point queries like Get() will still use the linear scan approach.
Also in this diff I changed RangeDelAggregator's TombstoneMap to use multimap with user keys instead of map with internal keys. Callers sometimes provided ParsedInternalKey directly, from which it would've required string copying to derive an internal key Slice with which we could search the map.
