Summary:
Memtable will now be forced to flush if the one of the following
conditions is met:
1. Already allocated more than write_buffer_size + 60% arena block size.
   (the overflowing condition)
2. Unable to safely allocate one more arena block without hitting the
   overflowing condition AND the unused allocated memory < 25% arena
   block size.

Summary:
Here is what it can cause probelm:
There is one memtable flush and one compaction. Both call LogAndApply(). If both edits are applied in the same batch with flush edit first and the compaction edit followed. LogAndApplyHelper() will assign compaction edit current VersionSet's log number(which should be smaller than the log number from flush edit). It cause log_numbers in MANIFEST to be not monotonic increasing, which violates the assume Recover() makes. What is more is after comitting to MANIFEST file, log_number_ in VersionSet is updated to the log_number from the last edit, which is the compaction one. It ends up not updating the log_number.

Original Summary:
Yesterday, @ljin and I were debugging various db_stress issues. We suspected one of them happens when we concurrently call NewIterator without prefix_seek on HashSkipList. This test demonstrates it.

Update:
Arena is not thread-safe!! When creating a new full iterator, we *have* to create a new arena, otherwise we're doomed.

Test Plan: SIGSEGV and assertion-throwing test now works!

Summary:
With D16767, there is a case compaction tasks are scheduled infinitely:
(1) no flush thread is configured and more than 1 compaction threads
(2) a flush is going on by one compaction hread
(3) the state of SST files is in the state that versions_->current()->NeedsCompaction() will generate a false positive (return true actually there is no work to be done)
In that case, a infinite loop will be formed.

This patch would fix it.

This is is based on https://reviews.facebook.net/D15027. It's not finished but I would like to give a prototype to avoid arena over-allocation while making better use of the already allocated memory blocks.

Instead of check approximate memtable size, we will take a deeper look at the arena, which incorporate essential idea that @sdong suggests: flush when arena has allocated its last and the last is "almost full"

Summary:
@igor pointed out that there is a potential data race because of the way we use the newly introduced LogBuffer. After "bg_compaction_scheduled_--" or "bg_flush_scheduled_--", they can both become 0. As soon as the lock is released after that, DBImpl's deconstructor can go ahead and deconstruct all the states inside DB, including the info_log object hold in a shared pointer of the options object it keeps. At that point it is not safe anymore to continue using the info logger to write the delayed logs.

With the patch, lock is released temporarily for log buffer to be flushed before "bg_compaction_scheduled_--" or "bg_flush_scheduled_--". In order to make sure we don't miss any pending flush or compaction, a new flag bg_schedule_needed_ is added, which is set to be true if there is a pending flush or compaction but not scheduled because of the max thread limit. If the flag is set to be true, the scheduling function will be called before compaction or flush thread finishes.

Thanks @igor for this finding!

(1) Fix SanitizeOptions() to also check HashLinkList. The current
dynamic case just happens to work because the 2 classes have the same
layout.
(2) Do not delete SliceTransform object in HashSkipListFactory and
HashLinkListFactory destructor. Reason: SanitizeOptions() enforces
prefix_extractor and SliceTransform to be the same object when
Hash**Factory is used. This makes the behavior strange: when
Hash**Factory is used, prefix_extractor will be released by RocksDB. If
other memtable factory is used, prefix_extractor should be released by
user.

Thanks to the discussion with @sdong, I added the `Options` when

Just FYI: I resisted to add Options in flush_block_policy.h since I
wanted to avoid cyclic dependencies: FlushBlockPolicy dpends on Options
and Options also depends FlushBlockPolicy... While I appreciate my
effort to prevent it, the old design turns out creating more troubles than
it tried to avoid.

Summary:
This diff does two things:
(1) Log::Reader does not report a corruption when the last record in a log or manifest file is truncated (meaning that log writer died in the middle of the write). Inherited the code from LevelDB: https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/detail?r=269fc6ca9416129248db5ca57050cd5d39d177c8#
(2) Turn off mmap writes for all writes to log and manifest files

(2) is necessary because if we use mmap writes, the last record is not truncated, but is actually filled with zeros, making checksum fail. It is hard to recover from checksum failing.

Test Plan:
Added unit tests from LevelDB
Actually recovered a "corrupted" MANIFEST file.

This will also help with avoiding the deadlock. If a flush failed and we're waiting for a memtable to be flushed, we should schedule a new flush and hope a new one succeedes.

If paranoid_checks = false, Wait() will still hang on ENOSPC, but at least it will automatically continue when the space frees up. Current behavior both hangs and deadlocks.

Also, I renamed some 'compaction' to 'flush'. 'compaction' was leveldb way of saying things.
