Summary:
Add `num_levels`, `is_bottommost`, and table file creation
`reason` to `FilterBuildingContext`, in anticipation of more powerful
Bloom-like filter support.
To support this, added `is_bottommost` and `reason` to
`TableBuilderOptions`, which allowed removing `reason` parameter from
`rocksdb::BuildTable`.
I attempted to remove `skip_filters` from `TableBuilderOptions`, because
filter construction decisions should arise from options, not one-off
parameters. I could not completely remove it because the public API for
SstFileWriter takes a `skip_filters` parameter, and translating this
into an option change would mean awkwardly replacing the table_factory
if it is BlockBasedTableFactory with new filter_policy=nullptr option.
I marked this public skip_filters option as deprecated because of this
oddity. (skip_filters on the read side probably makes sense.)
At least `skip_filters` is now largely hidden for users of
`TableBuilderOptions` and is no longer used for implementing the
optimize_filters_for_hits option. Bringing the logic for that option
closer to handling of FilterBuildingContext makes it more obvious that
hese two are using the same notion of "bottommost." (Planned:
configuration options for Bloom-like filters that generalize
`optimize_filters_for_hits`)
Recommended follow-up: Try to get away from "bottommost level" naming of
things, which is inaccurate (see
VersionStorageInfo::RangeMightExistAfterSortedRun), and move to
"bottommost run" or just "bottommost."

Test Plan:
extended an existing unit test to exercise and check various
filter building contexts. Also, existing tests for
optimize_filters_for_hits validate some of the "bottommost" handling,
which is now closely connected to FilterBuildingContext::is_bottommost
through TableBuilderOptions::is_bottommost
