Summary:
Context:
An extra IO_USER priority in rate limiter allows users to optionally charge WAL writes / SST reads to rate limiter at this priority level, which then has higher priority than IO_HIGH and IO_LOW. With an extra IO_USER priority, it allows users to better specify the relative urgency/importance among different requests in rate limiter. As a consequence, IO resource management can better prioritize and limit resource based on user's need.
The IO_USER is implemented as superior priority in GenericRateLimiter, in the sense that its request queue will always be iterated first without being constrained to fairness. The reason is that the notion of fairness is only meaningful in helping lower priorities in background IO (i.e, IO_HIGH/MID/LOW) to gain some fair chance to run so that it does not block foreground IO (i.e, the ones that are charged at the level of IO_USER). As we can see, the ultimate goal here is to not blocking foreground IO at IO_USER level, which justifies the superiority of IO_USER.
Similar benefits exist for IO_MID priority.
- Rewrote the logic of deciding the order of iterating request queues of high/low priorities to include the extra user/mid priority w/o affecting the existing behavior (see PR's [comment](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8595/files#r678749331))
- Included the request queue of user-pri/mid-pri in the code path of next-leader-candidate signaling and GenericRateLimiter's destructor
- Included the extra user/mid-pri in bookkeeping data structures: total_bytes_through_ and total_requests_
- Re-written the previous impl of explicitly iterating priorities with a loop from Env::IO_LOW to Env::IO_TOTAL

Test Plan:
- passed existing rate_limiter_test.cc
- passed added unit tests in rate_limiter_test.cc
- run performance test to verify performance with only high/low requests is not affected by this change
- Set-up command:
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom --duration=5 --compression_type=none --num=100000000 --disable_auto_compactions=true --write_buffer_size=1048576 --writable_file_max_buffer_size=65536 --target_file_size_base=1048576 --max_bytes_for_level_base=4194304 --level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=$(((1 << 31) - 1)) --level0_stop_writes_trigger=$(((1 << 31) - 1))`
- Test command:
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench --benchmarks=overwrite --use_existing_db=true --disable_wal=true --duration=30 --compression_type=none --num=100000000 --write_buffer_size=1048576 --writable_file_max_buffer_size=65536 --target_file_size_base=1048576 --max_bytes_for_level_base=4194304 --level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=$(((1 << 31) - 1)) --level0_stop_writes_trigger=$(((1 << 31) - 1)) --statistics=true --rate_limiter_bytes_per_sec=1048576 --rate_limiter_refill_period_us=1000 --threads=32 |& grep -E '(flush|compact)\.write\.bytes'`
- Before (on branch upstream/master):
`rocksdb.compact.write.bytes COUNT : 4014162`
`rocksdb.flush.write.bytes COUNT : 26715832`
rocksdb.flush.write.bytes/rocksdb.compact.write.bytes ~= 6.66
- After (on branch rate_limiter_user_pri):
`rocksdb.compact.write.bytes COUNT : 3807822`
`rocksdb.flush.write.bytes COUNT : 26098659`
rocksdb.flush.write.bytes/rocksdb.compact.write.bytes ~= 6.85
