## Problem Summary
RocksDB will acquire the global mutex of db instance for every time when user calls `Write`. When RocksDB schedules a lot of compaction jobs, it will compete the mutex with write thread and it will hurt the write performance.
## Problem Solution:
I want to use log_write_mutex to replace the global mutex in most case so that we do not acquire it in write-thread unless there is a write-stall event or a write-buffer-full event occur.

Summary:
Currently, when a WAL becomes obsolete after flushing, if VersionSet::WalSet does not contain the WAL, we do not track the WAL obsoletion event in MANIFEST.
But consider this case:
* WAL 10 is synced, a VersionEdit is LogAndApplied to MANIFEST to log this WAL addition event, but the VersionEdit is not applied to WalSet yet since its corresponding ManifestWriter is still pending in the write queue;
* Since the above ManifestWriter is blocking, the LogAndApply will block on a conditional variable and release the db mutex, so another LogAndApply can proceed to enqueue other VersionEdits concurrently;
* Now flush happens, and WAL 10 becomes obsolete, although WalSet does not contain WAL 10 yet, we should call LogAndApply to enqueue a VersionEdit to indicate the obsoletion of WAL 10;
* otherwise, when the queued edit indicating WAL 10 addition is logged to MANIFEST, and DB crashes and reopens, the WAL 10 might have been removed from disk, but it still exists in MANIFEST.
This PR changes the behavior to: always `LogAndApply` any WAL addition or obsoletion event, without considering the order issues caused by concurrency, but when applying the edits to `WalSet`, do not add the WALs if they are already obsolete. In this approach, the logical events of WAL addition and obsoletion are always tracked in MANIFEST, so we can inspect the MANIFEST and know all the previous WAL events, but we choose to ignore certain events due to the concurrency issues such as the case above, or the case in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/7725.

Summary:
Consider the case:
1. All column families are flushed, so all WALs become obsolete, but no WAL is removed from disk yet because the removal is asynchronous, a VersionEdit is written to MANIFEST indicating that WALs before a certain WAL number are obsolete, let's say this number is 3;
2. `SyncWAL` is called, so all the on-disk WALs are synced, and if track_and_verify_wal_in_manifest=true, the WALs will be tracked in MANIFEST, let's say the WAL numbers are 1 and 2;
3. DB crashes;
4. During DB recovery, when replaying MANIFEST, we first see that WAL with number < 3 are obsolete, then we see that WAL 1 and 2 are synced, so according to current implementation of `WalSet`, the `WalSet` will be recovered to include WAL 1 and 2;
5. WAL 1 and 2 are asynchronously deleted from disk, then the WAL verification algorithm fails with `Corruption: missing WAL`.
The above case is reproduced in a new unit test `DBBasicTestTrackWal::DoNotTrackObsoleteWal`.
The fix is to maintain the upper bound of the obsolete WAL numbers, any WAL with number less than the maintained number is considered to be obsolete, so shouldn't be tracked even if they are later synced. The number is maintained in `WalSet`.

Summary:
When a WAL is synced, an edit is written to MANIFEST.
After flushing memtables, the obsoleted WALs are piggybacked to MANIFEST while writing the new L0 files to MANIFEST.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/7601
Test Plan:
`track_and_verify_wals_in_manifest` is enabled by default for all tests extending `DBBasicTest`, and in db_stress_test.
Unit test `wal_edit_test`, `version_edit_test`, and `version_set_test` are also updated.
Watch all tests to pass.

Summary:
This PR makes it able to `LogAndApply` `VersionEdit`s related to WALs, and also be able to `Recover` from MANIFEST with WAL related `VersionEdit`s.
The `VersionEdit`s related to WAL are treated similarly as those related to column family operations, they are not applied to versions, but can be in a commit group. Mixing WAL related `VersionEdit`s with other types of edits will make logic in `ProcessManifestWrite` more complicated, so `VersionEdit`s related to WAL can either be WAL additions or deletions, like column family add and drop.

Add a method `CheckWals` in `WalSet` to check the logs on disk. See `CheckWals`'s comments.
This method will be used to check consistency of WALs during DB recovery.

Summary:
There are some tricky behaviors related to WAL sync:
- When creating a WAL, the WAL might not be synced, if the WAL directory is not synced, the WAL file's metadata may not even be synced to disk, so during recovery, when listing the WAL directory, the WAL may not even show up.
- During each DB::Write, the WriteOption can control whether the WAL should be synced, so a WAL previously not synced on creation can be synced during Write.
For each `SyncWAL`, we'll track the synced status and the current WAL size. Previously, we only track the WAL size on closing.
During recovery, we check that the on-disk WAL size is >= the last synced size.
So this PR introduces `synced_size` and `closed` to `WalMetadata` for the above design update.

Summary:
`WalAddition`, `WalDeletion` are defined in `wal_version.h` and used in `VersionEdit`.
`WalAddition` is used to represent events of creating a new WAL (no size, just log number), or closing a WAL (with size).
`WalDeletion` is used to represent events of deleting or archiving a WAL, it means the WAL is no longer alive (won't be replayed during recovery).
`WalSet` is the set of alive WALs kept in `VersionSet`.
1. Why use `WalDeletion` instead of relying on `MinLogNumber` to identify outdated WALs
On recovery, we can compute `MinLogNumber()` based on the log numbers kept in MANIFEST, any log with number < MinLogNumber can be ignored. So it seems that we don't need to persist `WalDeletion` to MANIFEST, since we can ignore the WALs based on MinLogNumber.
But the `MinLogNumber()` is actually a lower bound, it does not exactly mean that logs starting from MinLogNumber must exist. This is because in a corner case, when a column family is empty and never flushed, its log number is set to the largest log number, but not persisted in MANIFEST. So let's say there are 2 column families, when creating the DB, the first WAL has log number 1, so it's persisted to MANIFEST for both column families. Then CF 0 is empty and never flushed, CF 1 is updated and flushed, so a new WAL with log number 2 is created and persisted to MANIFEST for CF 1. But CF 0's log number in MANIFEST is still 1. So on recovery, MinLogNumber is 1, but since log 1 only contains data for CF 1, and CF 1 is flushed, log 1 might have already been deleted from disk.
We can make `MinLogNumber()` be the exactly minimum log number that must exist, by persisting the most recent log number for empty column families that are not flushed. But if there are N such column families, then every time a new WAL is created, we need to add N records to MANIFEST.
In current design, a record is persisted to MANIFEST only when WAL is created, closed, or deleted/archived, so the number of WAL related records are bounded to 3x number of WALs.
2. Why keep `WalSet` in `VersionSet` instead of applying the `VersionEdit`s to `VersionStorageInfo`
`VersionEdit`s are originally designed to track the addition and deletion of SST files. The SST files are related to column families, each column family has a list of `Version`s, and each `Version` keeps the set of active SST files in `VersionStorageInfo`.
But WALs are a concept of DB, they are not bounded to specific column families. So logically it does not make sense to store WALs in a column family's `Version`s.
Also, `Version`'s purpose is to keep reference to SST / blob files, so that they are not deleted until there is no version referencing them. But a WAL is deleted regardless of version references.
So we keep the WALs in `VersionSet` for the purpose of writing out the DB state's snapshot when creating new MANIFESTs.
