Summary:
This change establishes a distinctive name for the experimental new lock-free clock cache (originally developed by guidotag and revamped in PR https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10626). A few reasons:
* We want to make it clear that this is a fundamentally different implementation vs. the old clock cache, to avoid people saying "I already tried clock cache."
* We want to highlight the key feature: it's fast (especially under parallel load)
* Because it requires an estimated charge per entry, it is not drop-in API compatible with old clock cache. This estimate might always be required for highest performance, and giving it a distinct name should reduce confusion about the distinct API requirements.
* We might develop a variant requiring the same estimate parameter but with LRU eviction. In that case, using the name HyperLRUCache should make things more clear. (FastLRUCache is just a prototype that might soon be removed.)
Some API detail:
* To reduce copy-pasting parameter lists, etc. as in LRUCache construction, I have a `MakeSharedCache()` function on `HyperClockCacheOptions` instead of `NewHyperClockCache()`.
* Changes -cache_type=clock_cache to -cache_type=hyper_clock_cache for applicable tools. I think this is more consistent / sustainable for reasons already stated.
