Summary:
MemTableListVersion is to MemTableList what Version is to VersionSet. I took almost the same ideas to develop MemTableListVersion. The reason is to have copying std::list done in background, while flushing, rather than in foreground (MultiGet() and NewIterator()) under a mutex! Also, whenever we copied MemTableList, we copied also some MemTableList metadata (flush_requested_, commit_in_progress_, etc.), which was wasteful.

This diff avoids std::list copy under a mutex in both MultiGet() and NewIterator(). I created a small database with some number of immutable memtables, and creating 100.000 iterators in a single-thread (!) decreased from {188739, 215703, 198028} to {154352, 164035, 159817}. A lot of the savings come from code under a mutex, so we should see much higher savings with multiple threads. Creating new iterator is very important to LogDevice team.

I also think this diff will make SuperVersion obsolete for performance reasons. I will try it in the next diff. SuperVersion gave us huge savings on Get() code path, but I think that most of the savings came from copying MemTableList under a mutex. If we had MemTableListVersion, we would never need to copy the entire object (like we still do in NewIterator() and MultiGet())

Test Plan: `make check` works. I will also do `make valgrind_check` before commit

Previous we made `make release` also compile shared library. However it takes a long time to complete.

To make our development process more efficient. I added a new make target shared_lib.

User can of course run `make <library_name>` for direct compilation. However the <library_name> changed under certain condition. Thus we need `make shared_lib` to get rid of the memorization from users' side.

This diff implements a special type of iterator that doesn't create a snapshot
(can be used to read newly inserted data) and is optimized for doing sequential
reads.

TailingIterator uses current superversion number to determine whether to
invalidate its internal iterators. If the version hasn't changed, it can often
avoid doing expensive seeks over immutable structures (sst files and immutable
memtables).

After we reached a consensus on code format, which follows exactly
Google's coding style, a natural follow-up is to have a style checker
that can handle stuffs beyond format.

Google already has a powerful style checker "cpplint.py" and,
luckily, phabricator already provides the built-in linter for it!
Next time with "arc lint" most style inconsistency will be detected
(but will not be fixed).

Also I copied cpplint.py to linters directory, which is mostly
because we may need the flexibility to make some modifications on
it for our own need.

Summary:
This diff does two things:
* Rethinks how we call Recover() with read_only option. Before, we call it with pointer to memtable where we'd like to apply those changes to. This memtable is set in db_impl_readonly.cc and it's actually DBImpl::mem_. Why don't we just apply updates to mem_ right away? It seems more intuitive.
* Changes when we apply updates to manifest. Before, the process is to recover all the logs, flush it to sst files and then do one giant commit that atomically adds all recovered sst files and sets the next log number. This works good enough, but causes some small troubles for my column family approach, since I can't have one VersionEdit apply to more than single column family[1]. The change here is to commit the files recovered from logs right away. Here is the state of the world before the change:
1. Recover log 5, add new sst files to edit
2. Recover log 7, add new sst files to edit
3. Recover log 8, add new sst files to edit
4. Commit all added sst files to manifest and mark log files 5, 7 and 8 as recoverd (via SetLogNumber(9) function)
After the change, we'll do:
1. Recover log 5, commit the new sst files and set log 5 as recovered
2. Recover log 7, commit the new sst files and set log 7 as recovered
3. Recover log 8, commit the new sst files and set log 8 as recovered

The added (small) benefit is that if we fail after (2), the new recovery will only have to recover log 8. In previous case, we'll have to restart the recovery from the beginning. The bigger benefit will be to enable easier integration of multiple column families in Recovery code path.

[1] I'm happy to dicuss this decison, but I believe this is the cleanest way to go. It also makes backward compatibility much easier. We don't have a requirement of adding multiple column families atomically.

Summary:
This is a big one. This diff moves all the code related to picking compactions from VersionSet to new class CompactionPicker. Column families' compactions will be completely separate processes, so we need to have multiple CompactionPickers.

To make this easier to review, most of the code change is just copy/paste. There is also a small change not to use VersionSet::current_, but rather to take `Version* version` as a parameter. Most of the other code is exactly the same.

In future diffs, I will also make some improvements to CompactionPickers. I think the most important part will be encapsulating it better. Currently Version, VersionSet, Compaction and CompactionPicker are all friend classes, which makes it harder to change the implementation.

I will submit a sequence of diffs that are preparing master branch for column families. There are a lot of implicit assumptions in the code that are making column family implementation hard. If I make the change only in column family branch, it will make merging back to master impossible.

Most of the diffs will be simple code refactorings, so I hope we can have fast turnaround time. Feel free to grab me in person to discuss any of them.

This diff removes number of level check from VersionEdit. It is used only when VersionEdit is read, not written, but has to be set when it is written. I believe it is a right thing to make VersionEdit dumb and check consistency on the caller side. This will also make it much easier to implement Column Families, since different column families can have different number of levels.
