Summary:
Rocks accumulates recent writes and deletes in the in-memory memtable.
When the memtable is full, it writes the contents on the memtable to
a file in L0.

This patch removes redundant records at the time of the flush. If there
are multiple versions of the same key in the memtable, then only the
most recent one is dumped into the output file. The purging of
redundant records occur only if the most recent snapshot is earlier
than the earliest record in the memtable.

Should we switch on this feature by default or should we keep this feature
turned off in the default settings?

Summary:
`MemTableList::Add()` neglected to mention that it took ownership of the reference held by its caller.

The comment in `MemTable::Get()` was wrong in describing the format of the key.

Scripted and removed all trailing spaces and converted all tabs to
spaces.

Also fixed other lint errors.
All lint errors from this point of time should be taken seriously.

Summary:
This patch allows compaction to occur in multiple background threads
concurrently.

If a manual compaction is issued, the system falls back to a
single-compaction-thread model. This is done to ensure correctess
and simplicity of code. When the manual compaction is finished,
the system resumes its concurrent-compaction mode automatically.

The updates to the manifest are done via group-commit approach.

Test Plan: run db_bench

- Replace raw slice comparison with a call to user comparator.
  Added test for custom comparators.

- Fix end of namespace comments.

- Fixed bug in picking inputs for a level-0 compaction.

  When finding overlapping files, the covered range may expand
  as files are added to the input set.  We now correctly expand
  the range when this happens instead of continuing to use the
  old range.  For example, suppose L0 contains files with the
  following ranges:

      F1: a .. d
      F2:    c .. g
      F3:       f .. j

  and the initial compaction target is F3.  We used to search
  for range f..j which yielded {F2,F3}.  However we now expand
  the range as soon as another file is added.  In this case,
  when F2 is added, we expand the range to c..j and restart the
  search.  That picks up file F1 as well.

  This change fixes a bug related to deleted keys showing up
  incorrectly after a compaction as described in Issue 44.

(Sync with upstream @25072954)

- Implemented Get() directly instead of building on top of a full
  merging iterator stack.  This speeds up the "readrandom" benchmark
  by up to 15-30%.

- Fixed an opensource compilation problem.
  Added --db=<name> flag to control where the database is placed.

- Automatically compact a file when we have done enough
  overlapping seeks to that file.

- Fixed a performance bug where we would read from at least one
  file in a level even if none of the files overlapped the key
  being read.

- Makefile fix for Mac OSX installations that have XCode 4 without XCode 3.

- Unified the two occurrences of binary search in a file-list
  into one routine.

- Found and fixed a bug where we would unnecessarily search the
  last file when looking for a key larger than all data in the
  level.

- A fix to avoid the need for trivial move compactions and
  therefore gets rid of two out of five syncs in "fillseq".

- Removed the MANIFEST file write when switching to a new
  memtable/log-file for a 10-20% improvement on fill speed on ext4.

- Adding a SNAPPY setting in the Makefile for folks who have
  Snappy installed. Snappy compresses values and speeds up writes.
