Summary:
Add flags `overwrite_probability` and `overwrite_window_size` flag to `db_bench`.
Add the possibility of performing a `filluniquerandom` benchmark with an overwrite probability.
For each write operation, there is a probability _p_ that the write is an overwrite (_p_=`overwrite_probability`).
When an overwrite is decided, the key is randomly chosen from the last _N_ keys previously inserted into the DB (with _N_=`overwrite_window_size`).
When a pure write is decided, the key inserted into the DB is unique and therefore will not be an overwrite.
The `overwrite_window_size` is used so that the user can decide if the overwrite are mostly targeting recently inserted keys (when `overwrite_window_size` is small compared to the total number of writes), or can also target keys inserted "a long time ago" (when `overwrite_window_size` is comparable to total number of writes).
Note that total number of writes = # of unique insertions + # of overwrites.
No unit test specifically added.
Local testing show the following **throughputs** for `filluniquerandom` with 1M total writes:
- bypass the code inserts (no `overwrite_probability` flag specified): ~14.0MB/s
- `overwrite_probability=0.99`, `overwrite_window_size=10`: ~17.0MB/s
- `overwrite_probability=0.10`, `overwrite_window_size=10`: ~14.0MB/s
- `overwrite_probability=0.99`, `overwrite_window_size=1M`: ~14.5MB/s
- `overwrite_probability=0.10`, `overwrite_window_size=1M`: ~14.0MB/s
