Flush before Fsync()/Sync()
Summary: Calling Fsync()/Sync() on a file should give the guarantee that whatever you written to the file is now persisted. This is currently not the case, since we might have some data left in application cache as we do Fsync()/Sync(). For example, BuildTable() calls Fsync() without the flush, assuming all sst data is now persisted, but it's actually not. This may result in big inconsistencies.
RocksDB 2.8 to be able to read files generated by 2.6
Summary:
From 2.6 to 2.7, property block name is renamed from rocksdb.stats to rocksdb.properties. Older properties were not able to be loaded. In 2.8, we seem to have added some logic that uses property block without checking null pointers, which create segment faults.
In this patch, we fix it by:
(1) try rocksdb.stats if rocksdb.properties is not found
(2) add some null checking before consuming rep->table_properties
Test Plan: make sure a file generated in 2.7 couldn't be opened now can be opened.
Summary: Our measurement shows that sometimes new log::Write's constructor can take hundreds of milliseconds. It's unclear why but just simply move it out of DB mutex.

Make RocksDB compile for iOS
Summary:
I had to make number of changes to the code and Makefile:
* Add `make lib`, that will create static library without debug info. We need this to avoid growing binary too much. Currently it's 14MB.
* Remove cpuinfo() function and use __SSE4_2__ macro. We actually used the macro as part of Fast_CRC32() function.
As a result, I also accidentally fixed this issue: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/permalink/549700778461774/?stream_ref=2
* Remove __thread locals in OS_MACOSX
