Fix segfault caused by object premature destruction
Summary:
Please refer to earlier discussion in [issue 3609](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/3609).
There was also an alternative fix in [PR 3888](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3888), but the proposed solution requires complex change.
To summarize the cause of the problem. Upon creation of a column family, a `BlockBasedTableFactory` object is `new`ed and encapsulated by a `std::shared_ptr`. Since there is no other `std::shared_ptr` pointing to this `BlockBasedTableFactory`, when the column family is dropped, the `ColumnFamilyData` is `delete`d, causing the destructor of `std::shared_ptr`. Since there is no other `std::shared_ptr`, the underlying memory is also freed.
Later when the db exits, it releases all the table readers, including the table readers that have been operating on the dropped column family. This needs to access the `table_options` owned by `BlockBasedTableFactory` that has already been deleted. Therefore, a segfault is raised.
Previous workaround is to purge all obsolete files upon `ColumnFamilyData` destruction, which leads to a force release of table readers of the dropped column family. However this does not work when the user disables file deletion.
Our solution in this PR is making a copy of `table_options` in `BlockBasedTable::Rep`. This solution increases memory copy and usage, but is much simpler.
Test plan
```
$ make -j16
$ ./column_family_test --gtest_filter=ColumnFamilyTest.CreateDropAndDestroy:ColumnFamilyTest.CreateDropAndDestroyWithoutFileDeletion
```
Expected behavior:
All tests should pass.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3898
Summary:
Previously we were using -1 as the default for every library, which was legacy from our zlib options. That worked for a while, but after zstd introduced https://github.com/facebook/zstd/commit/a146ee04ae5866b948be0c1911418e0436d80cb4, it started giving poor compression ratios by default in zstd.
This PR adds a constant to RocksDB public API, `CompressionOptions::kDefaultCompressionLevel`, which will get translated to the default value specific to the compression library being used in "util/compression.h". The constant uses a number that appears to be larger than any library's maximum compression level.

Avoid directory renames in BackupEngine
Summary:
We used to name private directories like "1.tmp" while BackupEngine populated them, and then rename without the ".tmp" suffix (i.e., rename "1.tmp" to "1") after all files were copied. On glusterfs, directory renames like this require operations across many hosts, and partial failures have caused operational problems.
Fortunately we don't need to rename private directories. We already have a meta-file that uses the tempfile-rename pattern to commit a backup atomically after all its files have been successfully copied. So we can copy private files directly to their final location, so now there's no directory rename.

Support lowering CPU priority of background threads
Summary:
Background activities like compaction can negatively affect
latency of higher-priority tasks like request processing. To avoid this,
rocksdb already lowers the IO priority of background threads on Linux
systems. While this takes care of typical IO-bound systems, it does not
help much when CPU (temporarily) becomes the bottleneck. This is
especially likely when using more expensive compression settings.
This patch adds an API to allow for lowering the CPU priority of
background threads, modeled on the IO priority API. Benchmarks (see
below) show significant latency and throughput improvements when CPU
bound. As a result, workloads with some CPU usage bursts should benefit
from lower latencies at a given utilization, or should be able to push
utilization higher at a given request latency target.
A useful side effect is that compaction CPU usage is now easily visible
in common tools, allowing for an easier estimation of the contribution
of compaction vs. request processing threads.
As with IO priority, the implementation is limited to Linux, degrading
to a no-op on other systems.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3763
Summary:
this PR fixes a few failed contbuild:
1. ASAN memory leak in Block::NewIterator (table/block.cc:429). the proper destruction of first_level_iter_ and second_level_iter_ of two_level_iterator.cc is missing from the code after the refactoring in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3406
2. various unused param errors introduced by https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3662
3. updated comment for `ForceReleaseCachedEntry` to emphasize the use of `force_erase` flag.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3718
Fix the memory leak with pinned partitioned filters
Summary:
The existing unit test did not set the level so the check for pinned partitioned filter/index being properly released from the block cache was not properly exercised as they only take effect in level 0. As a result a memory leak in pinned partitioned filters was hidden. The patch fix the test as well as the bug.

Add Java-API-Changes section to History
Summary:
We have not been updating our HISTORY.md change log with the RocksJava changes. Going forward, lets add Java changes also to HISTORY.md.
There is an old java/HISTORY-JAVA.md, but it hasn't been updated in years. It is much easier to remember to update the change log in a single file, HISTORY.md.
I added information about shared block cache here, which was introduced in #3623.

Shared block cache in RocksJava
Summary:
Changes to support sharing block cache using the Java API.
Previously DB instances could share the block cache only when the same Options instance is passed to all the DB instances. But now, with this change, it is possible to explicitly create a cache and pass it to multiple options instances, to share the block cache.
Implementing this for [Rocksandra](https://github.com/instagram/cassandra/tree/rocks_3.0), but this feature has been requested by many java api users over the years.
