Summary:
Previously, our `db_stress` tool held the expected state of the DB in-memory, so after crash-recovery, there was no way to verify data correctness. This PR adds an option, `--expected_values_file`, which specifies a file holding the expected values.
In black-box testing, the `db_stress` process can be killed arbitrarily, so updates to the `--expected_values_file` must be atomic. We achieve this by `mmap`ing the file and relying on `std::atomic<uint32_t>` for atomicity. Actually this doesn't provide a total guarantee on what we want as `std::atomic<uint32_t>` could, in theory, be translated into multiple stores surrounded by a mutex. We can verify our assumption by looking at `std::atomic::is_always_lock_free`.
For the `mmap`'d file, we didn't have an existing way to expose its contents as a raw memory buffer. This PR adds it in the `Env::NewMemoryMappedFileBuffer` function, and `MemoryMappedFileBuffer` class.
`db_crashtest.py` is updated to use an expected values file for black-box testing. On the first iteration (when the DB is created), an empty file is provided as `db_stress` will populate it when it runs. On subsequent iterations, that same filename is provided so `db_stress` can check the data is as expected on startup.
