Summary:
Based on my recent findings (posted in our internal group), if we use fallocate without KEEP_SIZE flag, we get superior performance of fdatasync() in append-only workloads.
This diff provides an option for user to not use KEEP_SIZE flag, thus optimizing his sync performance by up to 2x-3x.
At one point we also just called posix_fallocate instead of fallocate, which isn't very fast: http://code.woboq.org/userspace/glibc/sysdeps/posix/posix_fallocate.c.html (tl;dr it manually writes out zero bytes to allocate storage). This diff also fixes that, by first calling fallocate and then posix_fallocate if fallocate is not supported.

Summary:
When the manifest is getting rolled the following happens:
1) manifest_file_number_ is assigned to a new manifest number (even though the old one is still current)
2) mutex is unlocked
3) SetCurrentFile() creates temporary file manifest_file_number_.dbtmp
4) SetCurrentFile() renames manifest_file_number_.dbtmp to CURRENT
5) mutex is locked
If FindObsoleteFiles happens between (3) and (4) it will:
1) Delete manifest_file_number_.dbtmp (because it's not in pending_outputs_)
2) Delete old manifest (because the manifest_file_number_ already points to a new one)
I introduce the concept of prev_manifest_file_number_ that will avoid the race condition.
However, we should discuss the future of MANIFEST file rolling. We found some race conditions with it last week and who knows how many more are there. Nobody is using it in production because we don't trust the implementation. Should we even support it?

Summary:
Here is what it can cause probelm:
There is one memtable flush and one compaction. Both call LogAndApply(). If both edits are applied in the same batch with flush edit first and the compaction edit followed. LogAndApplyHelper() will assign compaction edit current VersionSet's log number(which should be smaller than the log number from flush edit). It cause log_numbers in MANIFEST to be not monotonic increasing, which violates the assume Recover() makes. What is more is after comitting to MANIFEST file, log_number_ in VersionSet is updated to the log_number from the last edit, which is the compaction one. It ends up not updating the log_number.

Summary: Now while the background thread is picking compactions, it writes out multiple info_logs, especially for universal compaction, which introduces a chance of waiting log writing in mutex, which is bad.

EncodeTo(&record) does not overwrite, it appends to it.
This means that group commit log and apply will look something like:

I'm surprised this didn't show up in production, but I think the reason is that MANIFEST group commit almost never happens.

Previous code is too convoluted and I must be drunk for letting
such code to be written without a second thought.
Thanks to the discussion with @sdong, I added the `Options` when
generating the flusher, thus avoiding the tricks.
Just FYI: I resisted to add Options in flush_block_policy.h since I
wanted to avoid cyclic dependencies: FlushBlockPolicy dpends on Options
and Options also depends FlushBlockPolicy... While I appreciate my
effort to prevent it, the old design turns out creating more troubles than
it tried to avoid.

I though I might get away with as little changes to LogAndApply() as possible. It turns out this is not the case.
This diff introduces different behavior of LogAndApply() for three cases:
1. column family add
2. column family drop
3. no-column family manipulation
(1) and (2) don't support group commit yet.
There were a lot of problems with old version od LogAndApply, detected by db_stress. The biggest was non-atomicity of manifest writes and metadata changes (i.e. if column family add is in manifest, it also has to be in in-memory data structure).

Summary:
This diff does two things:
(1) Log::Reader does not report a corruption when the last record in a log or manifest file is truncated (meaning that log writer died in the middle of the write). Inherited the code from LevelDB: https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/detail?r=269fc6ca9416129248db5ca57050cd5d39d177c8#
(2) Turn off mmap writes for all writes to log and manifest files
(2) is necessary because if we use mmap writes, the last record is not truncated, but is actually filled with zeros, making checksum fail. It is hard to recover from checksum failing.
Test Plan:
Added unit tests from LevelDB
Actually recovered a "corrupted" MANIFEST file.

* As long as column family handle is alive, client can do whatever he wants with it, even drop it
* Dropped column family can still be read from (using the column family handle)
* Added a new call CloseColumnFamily(). Client has to close all column families that he has opened before deleting the DB
* As soon as column family is closed, any calls to DB using that column family handle will fail (also any outstanding calls)
Internally:
* Ref-counting ColumnFamilyData
* New thread-safety for ColumnFamilySet
* Dropped column families are now completely dropped and their memory cleaned-up

Summary:
Adapting table cache to column families is interesting. We want table cache to be global LRU, so if some column families are use not as often as others, we want them to be evicted from cache. However, current TableCache object also constructs tables on its own. If table is not found in the cache, TableCache automatically creates new table. We want each column family to be able to specify different table factory.
To solve the problem, we still have a single LRU, but we provide the LRUCache object to TableCache on construction. We have one TableCache per column family, but the underyling cache is shared by all TableCache objects.
This allows us to have a global LRU, but still be able to support different table factories for different column families. Also, in the future it will also be able to support different directories for different column families.
