Summary:
Add API to WriteBatch to store range deletions in its buffer
which are later added to memtable. In the WriteBatch buffer, a range
deletion is encoded as "<optype><CF ID (optional)><begin key><end key>".
With this diff, the range tombstones are stored inline with the data in
the memtable. It's useful for now because the test cases rely on the
data being accessible via memtable. My next step is to store range
tombstones in a separate area in the memtable.

Summary:
This patch fixes#7460559. It introduces SingleDelete as a new database
operation. This operation can be used to delete keys that were never
overwritten (no put following another put of the same key). If an overwritten
key is single deleted the behavior is undefined. Single deletion of a
non-existent key has no effect but multiple consecutive single deletions are
not allowed (see limitations).
In contrast to the conventional Delete() operation, the deletion entry is
removed along with the value when the two are lined up in a compaction. Note:
The semantics are similar to @igor's prototype that allowed to have this
behavior on the granularity of a column family (
https://reviews.facebook.net/D42093 ). This new patch, however, is more
aggressive when it comes to removing tombstones: It removes the SingleDelete
together with the value whenever there is no snapshot between them while the
older patch only did this when the sequence number of the deletion was older
than the earliest snapshot.
Most of the complex additions are in the Compaction Iterator, all other changes
should be relatively straightforward. The patch also includes basic support for
single deletions in db_stress and db_bench.
Limitations:
- Not compatible with cuckoo hash tables
- Single deletions cannot be used in combination with merges and normal
deletions on the same key (other keys are not affected by this)
- Consecutive single deletions are currently not allowed (and older version of
this patch supported this so it could be resurrected if needed)

Summary: WriteBatch and WriteBatchWithIndex now both inherit from a common abstract base class. This makes it easier to write code that is agnostic toward the implementation of the particular write batch. In particular, I plan on utilizing this abstraction to allow transactions to support using either implementation of a write batch.
Test Plan: modified existing WriteBatchWithIndex tests to test new functions. Running all tests.
