Summary:
For transactions, we are using the memtables to validate that there are no write conflicts.  But after flushing, we don't have any memtables, and transactions could fail to commit.  So we want to someone keep around some extra history to use for conflict checking.  In addition, we want to provide a way to increase the size of this history if too many transactions fail to commit.

After chatting with people, it seems like everyone prefers just using Memtables to store this history (instead of a separate history structure).  It seems like the best place for this is abstracted inside the memtable_list.  I decide to create a separate list in MemtableListVersion as using the same list complicated the flush/installalflushresults logic too much.

This diff adds a new parameter to control how much memtable history to keep around after flushing.  However, it sounds like people aren't too fond of adding new parameters.  So I am making the default size of flushed+not-flushed memtables be set to max_write_buffers.  This should not change the maximum amount of memory used, but make it more likely we're using closer the the limit.  (We are now postponing deleting flushed memtables until the max_write_buffer limit is reached).  So while we might use more memory on average, we are still obeying the limit set (and you could argue it's better to go ahead and use up memory now instead of waiting for a write stall to happen to test this limit).

However, if people are opposed to this default behavior, we can easily set it to 0 and require this parameter be set in order to use transactions.

Test Plan: Added a xfunc test to play around with setting different values of this parameter in all tests.  Added testing in memtablelist_test and planning on adding more testing here.

Summary:
Compaction now boosts the size of deletion entries of a file only when
the number of deletion entries is greater than the number of non-deletion
entries in the file.  The motivation here is that in a stable workload,
the number of deletion entries should be roughly equal to the number of
non-deletion entries.  If we compensate the size of deletion entries in a
stable workload, the deletion compensation logic might introduce unwanted
effet which changes the shape of LSM tree.

This patch fixes the following two bugs on logging file deletion.

1.  Previously, file deletion failure was only logged in INFO_LEVEL.
    This patch changes it to ERROR_LEVEL and does some code clean.

2.  EventLogger previously will always generate the same log on
    table file deletion even when file deletion is not successful.
    Now the resulting status of file deletion will also be logged.

the JSONWriter to be shared by EventLogger and potentially EventListener,
which is an important step to integrate EventLogger and EventListener.

which uses the new API to generate identical log.

Summary:
This turns out to be pretty bad because if we prioritize L0->L1 then L1 can grow artificially large, which makes L0->L1 more and more expensive. For example:
256MB @ L0 + 256MB @ L1 --> 512MB @ L1
256MB @ L0 + 512MB @ L1 --> 768MB @ L1
256MB @ L0 + 768MB @ L1 --> 1GB @ L1

....

256MB @ L0 + 10GB @ L1 --> 10.2GB @ L1

At some point we need to start compacting L1->L2 to speed up L0->L1.

Test Plan:
The performance improvement is massive for heavy write workload. This is the benchmark I ran: https://phabricator.fb.com/P19842671. Before this change, the benchmark took 47 minutes to complete.

Also, we ran this diff on MongoDB on RocksDB on one replicaset. Before the change, our initial sync was so slow that it couldn't keep up with primary writes. After the change, the import finished without any issues

Summary:
See https://gist.github.com/mdcallag/89ebb2b8cbd331854865 for the IO stats.
I added "Cumulative compaction:" and "Interval compaction:" lines. The IO rates
can be confusing. Rates fro per-level stats lines, Wr(MB/s) & Rd(MB/s), are computed
using the duration of the compaction job. If the job reads 10MB, writes 9MB and the job
(IO & merging) takes 1 second then the rates are 10MB/s for read and 9MB/s for writes.
The IO rates in the Cumulative compaction line uses the total uptime. The IO rates in the
Interval compaction line uses the interval uptime. So these Cumalative & Interval
compaction IO rates cannot be compared to the per-level IO rates. But both forms of
the rates are useful for debugging perf.

sync_file_range is not always asyncronous and thus can block writes if we do this for WAL in the foreground thread. See more here: http://yoshinorimatsunobu.blogspot.com/2014/03/how-syncfilerange-really-works.html

Some users don't want us to call sync_file_range on WALs. Some other do.
Thus, I'm adding a separate option wal_bytes_per_sync to control calling
sync_file_range on WAL files. bytes_per_sync will apply only to table
files now.
