Summary:
The ObjectRegistry class replaces the Registrar and NewCustomObjects. Objects are registered with the registry by Type (the class must implement the static const char *Type() method).
This change is necessary for a few reasons:
- By having a class (rather than static template instances), the class can be passed between compilation units, meaning that objects could be registered and shared from a dynamic library with an executable.
- By having a class with instances, different units could have different objects registered. This could be useful if, for example, one Option allowed for a dynamic library and one did not.
When combined with some other PRs (being able to load shared libraries, a Configurable interface to configure objects to/from string), this code will allow objects in external shared libraries to be added to a RocksDB image at run-time, rather than requiring every new extension to be built into the main library and called explicitly by every program.
Test plan (on riversand963's devserver)
```
$COMPILE_WITH_ASAN=1 make -j32 all && sleep 1 && make check
```
All tests pass.
