Summary:
Valgrind had false positive complaints about the initialization pattern for `GetCurrentTime()`'s argument in #2480. We can instead have the client initialize the time variable before calling `GetCurrentTime()`, and have `GetCurrentTime()` promise to only overwrite it in success case.

Summary:
Introducing FIFO compactions with TTL.

FIFO compaction is based on size only which makes it tricky to enable in production as use cases can have organic growth. A user requested an option to drop files based on the time of their creation instead of the total size.

To address that request:
- Added a new TTL option to FIFO compaction options.
- Updated FIFO compaction score to take TTL into consideration.
- Added a new table property, creation_time, to keep track of when the SST file is created.
- Creation_time is set as below:
  - On Flush: Set to the time of flush.
  - On Compaction: Set to the max creation_time of all the files involved in the compaction.
  - On Repair and Recovery: Set to the time of repair/recovery.
  - Old files created prior to this code change will have a creation_time of 0.
- FIFO compaction with TTL is enabled when ttl > 0. All files older than ttl will be deleted during compaction. i.e. `if (file.creation_time < (current_time - ttl)) then delete(file)`. This will enable cases where you might want to delete all files older than, say, 1 day.
- FIFO compaction will fall back to the prior way of deleting files based on size if:
  - the creation_time of all files involved in compaction is 0.
  - the total size (of all SST files combined) does not drop below `compaction_options_fifo.max_table_files_size` even if the files older than ttl are deleted.

This feature is not supported if max_open_files != -1 or with table formats other than Block-based.

**Test Plan:**
Added tests.

**Benchmark results:**

Summary:
Throughput: 46k tps in our sysbench settings (filling the details later)

The idea is to have the simplest change that gives us a reasonable boost
in 2PC throughput.

Major design changes:
1. The WAL file internal buffer is not flushed after each write. Instead
it is flushed before critical operations (WAL copy via fs) or when
FlushWAL is called by MySQL. Flushing the WAL buffer is also protected
via mutex_.
2. Use two sequence numbers: last seq, and last seq for write. Last seq
is the last visible sequence number for reads. Last seq for write is the
next sequence number that should be used to write to WAL/memtable. This
allows to have a memtable write be in parallel to WAL writes.
3. BatchGroup is not used for writes. This means that we can have
parallel writers which changes a major assumption in the code base. To
accommodate for that i) allow only 1 WriteImpl that intends to write to
memtable via mem_mutex_--which is fine since in 2PC almost all of the memtable writes
come via group commit phase which is serial anyway, ii) make all the
parts in the code base that assumed to be the only writer (via
EnterUnbatched) to also acquire mem_mutex_, iii) stat updates are
protected via a stat_mutex_.

Note: the first commit has the approach figured out but is not clean.
Submitting the PR anyway to get the early feedback on the approach. If
we are ok with the approach I will go ahead with this updates:
0) Rebase with Yi's pipelining changes
1) Currently batching is disabled by default to make sure that it will be
consistent with all unit tests. Will make this optional via a config.
2) A couple of unit tests are disabled. They need to be updated with the
serial commit of 2PC taken into account.
3) Replacing BatchGroup with mem_mutex_ got a bit ugly as it requires
releasing mutex_ beforehand (the same way EnterUnbatched does). This
needs to be cleaned up.

Summary:
- `max_background_flushes` and `max_background_compactions` are still supported for backwards compatibility
- `base_background_compactions` is completely deprecated. Now we just throttle to one background compaction when there's no pressure.
- `max_background_jobs` is added to automatically partition the concurrent background jobs into flushes vs compactions. Currently it's very simple as we just allocate one-fourth of the jobs to flushes, and the remaining can be used for compactions.
- The test cases that set `base_background_compactions > 1` needed to be updated. I just grab the pressure token such that the desired number of compactions can be scheduled.

Summary:
Adding DB::CreateColumnFamilie() and DB::DropColumnFamilies() to bulk create/drop column families. This is to address the problem creating/dropping 1k column families takes minutes. The bottleneck is we persist options files for every single column family create/drop, and it parses the persisted options file for verification, which take a lot CPU time.

The new APIs simply create/drop column families individually, and persist options file once at the end. This improves create 1k column families to within ~0.1s. Further improvement can be merge manifest write to one IO.
