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.

Summary:
Previously users could set `max_background_flushes=0` to force rocksdb to use a single thread pool for both background flushes and compactions. That'll no longer be possible since I'm going to deprecate `max_background_flushes` and `max_background_compactions` in favor of a single option. This diff introduces a new way to force a single thread pool: when high-pri pool has zero threads, all background jobs will be submitted to low-pri pool.
Note the majority of the code change is adding `Env::GetBackgroundThreads()`, which is necessary to check whether the user has provided a zero-sized thread pool.

Summary:
introduce new methods into a public threadpool interface,
- allow submission of std::functions as they allow greater flexibility.
- add Joining methods to the implementation to join scheduled and submitted jobs with
an option to cancel jobs that did not start executing.
- Remove ugly `#ifdefs` between pthread and std implementation, make it uniform.
- introduce pimpl for a drop in replacement of the implementation
- Introduce rocksdb::port::Thread typedef which is a replacement for std::thread. On Posix Thread defaults as before std::thread.
- Implement WindowsThread that allocates memory in a more controllable manner than windows std::thread with a replaceable implementation.
- should be no functionality changes.

Summary:
This diff split ThreadPool to
-ThreadPool (abstract interface exposed in include/rocksdb/threadpool.h)
-ThreadPoolImpl (actual implementation in util/threadpool_imp.h)
This allow us to expose ThreadPool to the user so we can use it as an option later
Test Plan: existing unit tests
