Summary:
This is the initial step in the development of a lock-free clock cache. This PR includes the base hash table design (which we mostly ported over from FastLRUCache) and the clock eviction algorithm. Importantly, it's still _not_ lock-free---all operations use a shard lock. Besides the locking, there are other features left as future work:
- Remove keys from the handles. Instead, use 128-bit bijective hashes of them for handle comparisons, probing (we need two 32-bit hashes of the key for double hashing) and sharding (we need one 6-bit hash).
- Remove the clock_usage_ field, which is updated on every lookup. Even if it were atomically updated, it could cause memory invalidations across cores.
- Middle insertions into the clock list.
- A test that exercises the clock eviction policy.
- Update the Java API of ClockCache and Java calls to C++.
Along the way, we improved the code and comments quality of FastLRUCache. These changes are relatively minor.

Summary:
cache_bench wasn't generating 16B keys, which are necessary for FastLRUCache. Also:
- Added asserts in cache_bench, which is assuming that inserts never fail. When they fail (for example, if we used keys of the wrong size), memory allocated to the values will becomes leaked, and eventually the program crashes.
- Move kCacheKeySize to the right spot.

Test Plan:
``make -j24 check``. Also, run cache_bench with FastLRUCache and check that memory usage doesn't blow up:
``./cache_bench -cache_type=fast_lru_cache -num_shard_bits=6 -skewed=true \
-lookup_insert_percent=100 -lookup_percent=0 -insert_percent=0 -erase_percent=0 \
-populate_cache=true -cache_size=1073741824 -ops_per_thread=10000000 \

Summary:
In FastLRUCache, we replace the current chained per-shard hash table by an open-addressing hash table. In particular, this allows us to preallocate all handles.
Because all handles are preallocated, this implementation doesn't support strict_capacity_limit = false (i.e., allowing insertions beyond the predefined capacity). This clashes with current assumptions of some tests, namely two tests in cache_test and the crash tests. We have disabled these for now.

Summary:
folly DistributedMutex is faster than standard mutexes though
imposes some static obligations on usage. See
https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/main/folly/synchronization/DistributedMutex.h
for details. Here we use this alternative for our Cache implementations
(especially LRUCache) for better locking performance, when RocksDB is
compiled with folly.
Also added information about which distributed mutex implementation is
being used to cache_bench output and to DB LOG.
Intended follow-up:
* Use DMutex in more places, perhaps improving API to support non-scoped
locking
* Fix linking with fbcode compiler (needs ROCKSDB_NO_FBCODE=1 currently)

Summary:
We make the size of the per-shard hash table fixed. The base level of the hash table is now preallocated with the required capacity. The user must provide an estimate of the size of the values.
Notice that even though the base level becomes fixed, the chains are still dynamic. Overall, the shard capacity mechanisms haven't changed, so we don't need to test this.

Summary:
In LRU Cache mutex, we sometimes call malloc_usable_size() to calculate memory used by the metadata object. We prevent it by saving the charge + metadata size, rather than charge, inside the metadata itself. Within the mutex, usually only total charge is needed so we don't need to repeat.

Summary:
To support a project to prototype and evaluate algorithmic
enhancments and alternatives to LRUCache, here I have separated out
LRUCache into internal-only "FastLRUCache" and cut it down to
essentials, so that details like secondary cache handling and
priorities do not interfere with prototyping. These can be
re-integrated later as needed, along with refactoring to minimize code
duplication (which would slow down prototyping for now).
