Summary:
As of now compactions involving files from Level 0 and Level 1 are single
threaded because the files in L0, although sorted, are not range partitioned like
the other levels. This means that during L0-L1 compaction each file from L1
needs to be merged with potentially all the files from L0.
This attempt to parallelize the L0-L1 compaction assigns a thread and a
corresponding iterator to each L1 file that then considers only the key range
found in that L1 file and only the L0 files that have those keys (and only the
specific portion of those L0 files in which those keys are found). In this way
the overlap is minimized and potentially eliminated between different iterators
focusing on the same files.
The first step is to restructure the compaction logic to break L0-L1 compactions
into multiple, smaller, sequential compactions. Eventually each of these smaller
jobs will be run simultaneously. Areas to pay extra attention to are
# Correct aggregation of compaction job statistics across multiple threads
# Proper opening/closing of output files (make sure each thread's is unique)
# Keys that span multiple L1 files
# Skewed distributions of keys within L0 files
Test Plan: Make and run db_test (newer version has separate compaction tests) and compaction_job_stats_test

Summary:
When we first started, max_background_flushes was 0 by default and compaction thread was executing flushes (since there was no flush thread). Then, we switched the default max_background_flushes to 1. However, we still support the case where there is no flush thread and flushes are done in compaction. This is making our code a bit more complicated. By not supporting this use-case we can make our code simpler.
We have a special case that when you set max_background_flushes to 0, we
schedule the flush to execute on the compaction thread.
Test Plan: make check (there might be some unit tests that depend on this behavior)

Summary:
Trvial move in universal compaction was failing when trying to move files from levels other than 0.
This was because the DeleteFile while trivially moving, was only deleting files of level 0 which caused duplication of same file in different levels.
This is fixed by passing the right level as argument in the call of DeleteFile while doing trivial move.
Test Plan: ./db_test ran successfully with the new test cases.

Summary: This option is guarding the feature implemented 2 and a half years ago: D8991. The feature was enabled by default back then and has been running without issues. There is no reason why any client would turn this feature off. I found no reference in fbcode.

Summary:
Move reusable part of db_test.cc to util/db_test_util.h.
This makes it more possible to partition db_test.cc into
multiple smaller test files.
Also, fixed many old lint errors in db_test.
