Summary:
This diff adds support for both soft and hard rate limiting. The following changes are included:
1) Options.rate_limit is renamed to Options.hard_rate_limit.
2) Options.rate_limit_delay_milliseconds is renamed to Options.rate_limit_delay_max_milliseconds.
3) Options.soft_rate_limit is added.
4) If the maximum compaction score is > hard_rate_limit and rate_limit_delay_max_milliseconds == 0, then writes are delayed by 1 ms at a time until the max compaction score falls below hard_rate_limit.
5) If the max compaction score is > soft_rate_limit but <= hard_rate_limit, then writes are delayed by 0-1 ms depending on how close we are to hard_rate_limit.
6) Users can disable 4 by setting hard_rate_limit = 0. They can add a limit to the maximum amount of time waited by setting rate_limit_delay_max_milliseconds > 0. Thus, the old behavior can be preserved by setting soft_rate_limit = 0, which is the default.
Test Plan:
