Add bulk create/drop column family API

Summary:
Adding DB::CreateColumnFamilie() and DB::DropColumnFamilies() to bulk create/drop column families. This is to address the problem creating/dropping 1k column families takes minutes. The bottleneck is we persist options files for every single column family create/drop, and it parses the persisted options file for verification, which take a lot CPU time.

The new APIs simply create/drop column families individually, and persist options file once at the end. This improves create 1k column families to within ~0.1s. Further improvement can be merge manifest write to one IO.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2248

 # Rocksdb Change Log
 ## Unreleased
-### Public API Change
-* Introduce WriteBatch::PopSavePoint to pop the most recent save point explicitly
 ### New Features
 * FIFO compaction to support Intra L0 compaction too with CompactionOptionsFIFO.allow_compaction=true.
 * DB::ResetStats() to reset internal stats.
 * Statistics::Reset() to reset user stats.
 * ldb add option --try_load_options, which will open DB with its own option file.
+* Introduce WriteBatch::PopSavePoint to pop the most recent save point explicitly.
 * Support dynamically change `max_open_files` option via SetDBOptions()
+* Added DB::CreateColumnFamilie() and DB::DropColumnFamilies() to bulk create/drop column families.
