Summary:
This is a redesign of the API for RocksJava comparators with the aim of improving performance. It also simplifies the class hierarchy.
**NOTE**: This breaks backwards compatibility for existing 3rd party Comparators implemented in Java... so we need to consider carefully which release branches this goes into.
Previously when implementing a comparator in Java the developer had a choice of subclassing either `DirectComparator` or `Comparator` which would use direct and non-direct byte-buffers resepectively (via `DirectSlice` and `Slice`).
In this redesign there we have eliminated the overhead of using the Java Slice classes, and just use `ByteBuffer`s. The `ComparatorOptions` supplied when constructing a Comparator allow you to choose between direct and non-direct byte buffers by setting `useDirect`.
In addition, the `ComparatorOptions` now allow you to choose whether a ByteBuffer is reused over multiple comparator calls, by setting `maxReusedBufferSize > 0`. When buffers are reused, ComparatorOptions provides a choice of mutex type by setting `useAdaptiveMutex`.

[JMH benchmarks previously indicated](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6241#issue-356398306) that the difference between C++ and Java for implementing a comparator was ~7x slowdown in Java.
With these changes, when reusing buffers and guarding access to them via mutexes the slowdown is approximately the same. However, these changes offer a new facility to not reuse mutextes, which reduces the slowdown to ~5.5x in Java. We also offer a `thread_local` mechanism for reusing buffers, which reduces slowdown to ~5.2x in Java (closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4425).
These changes also form a good base for further optimisation work such as further JNI lookup caching, and JNI critical.
---
These numbers were captured without jemalloc. With jemalloc, the performance improves for all tests, and the Java slowdown reduces to between 4.8x and 5.x.

Summary:
This PR also includes some cleanup, bugfixes and refactoring of the Java API. However these are really pre-cursors on the road to CompactionFilterFactory support.

Summary:
I have manually audited the entire RocksJava code base.
Sorry for the large pull-request, I have broken it down into many small atomic commits though.
My initial intention was to fix the warnings that appear when running RocksJava on Java 8 with `-Xcheck:jni`, for example when running `make jtest` you would see many errors similar to:
```
WARNING in native method: JNI call made without checking exceptions when required to from CallObjectMethod
WARNING in native method: JNI call made without checking exceptions when required to from CallVoidMethod
WARNING in native method: JNI call made without checking exceptions when required to from CallStaticVoidMethod
...
```
A few of those warnings still remain, however they seem to come directly from the JVM and are not directly related to RocksJava; I am in contact with the OpenJDK hostpot-dev mailing list about these - http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2017-February/025981.html.
As a result of fixing these, I realised we were not r
