Summary:
We don't have any evidence of people using these to build custom
filters. The recommended way of customizing filter handling is to
defer to various built-in policies based on FilterBuildingContext
(e.g. to build Monkey filtering policy). With old API, we have
evidence of people modifying keys going into filter, but most cases
of that can be handled with prefix_extractor.
Having FilterBitsBuilder+Reader in the public API is an ogoing
hinderance to code evolution (e.g. recent new Finish and
MaybePostVerify), and so this change removes them from the public API
for 7.0. Maybe they will come back in some form later, but lacking
evidence of them providing value in the public API, we want to take back
more freedom to evolve these.
With this moved to internal-only, there is no rush to clean up the
complex Finish signatures, or add memory allocator support, but doing so
is much easier with them out of public API, for example to use
CacheAllocationPtr without exposing it in the public API.
