Summary:
Logically strip the user-defined timestamp when L0 files are created during flush when `AdvancedColumnFamilyOptions.persist_user_defined_timestamps` is false. Logically stripping timestamp here means replacing the original user-defined timestamp with a mininum timestamp, which for now is hard coded to be all zeros bytes.
While working on this, I caught a missing piece on the `BlockBuilder` level for this feature. The current quick path `std::min(buffer_size, last_key_size)` needs a bit tweaking to work for this feature. When user-defined timestamp is stripped during block building, on writing first entry or right after resetting, `buffer` is empty and `buffer_size` is zero as usual. However, in follow-up writes, depending on the size of the stripped user-defined timestamp, and the size of the value, what's in `buffer` can sometimes be smaller than `last_key_size`, leading `std::min(buffer_size, last_key_size)` to truncate the `last_key`. Previous test doesn't caught the bug because in those tests, the size of the stripped user-defined timestamps bytes is smaller than the length of the value. In order to avoid the conditional operation, this PR changed the original trivial `std::min` operation into an arithmetic operation. Since this is a change in a hot and performance critical path, I did the following benchmark to check no observable regression is introduced.

Test Plan:
New timestamp specific test added or existing tests augmented, both are parameterized with `UserDefinedTimestampTestMode`:
`UserDefinedTimestampTestMode::kNormal` -> UDT feature enabled, write / read with min timestamp
`UserDefinedTimestampTestMode::kStripUserDefinedTimestamps` -> UDT feature enabled, write / read with min timestamp, set Options.persist_user_defined_timestamps to false.
