 * When options.soft_rate_limit or options.level0_slowdown_writes_trigger is triggered, the way to slow down writes is changed to: write rate to DB is limited to to options.delayed_write_rate.
 * DB::GetApproximateSizes() adds a parameter to allow the estimation to include data in mem table, with default to be not to include. It is now only supported in skip list mem table.
 * DB::CompactRange() now accept CompactRangeOptions instead of multiple paramters. CompactRangeOptions is defined in include/rocksdb/options.h.
+* Add force_bottommost_level_compaction option to CompactRangeOptions, which prevent compaction from skipping compacting bottommost level.
