Summary:
The following are risks associated with pointer-to-pointer reinterpret_cast:
* Can produce the "wrong result" (crash or memory corruption). IIRC, in theory this can happen for any up-cast or down-cast for a non-standard-layout type, though in practice would only happen for multiple inheritance cases (where the base class pointer might be "inside" the derived object). We don't use multiple inheritance a lot, but we do.
* Can mask useful compiler errors upon code change, including converting between unrelated pointer types that you are expecting to be related, and converting between pointer and scalar types unintentionally.
I can only think of some obscure cases where static_cast could be troublesome when it compiles as a replacement:
* Going through `void*` could plausibly cause unnecessary or broken pointer arithmetic. Suppose we have
`struct Derived: public Base1, public Base2`. If we have `Derived*` -> `void*` -> `Base2*` -> `Derived*` through reinterpret casts, this could plausibly work (though technical UB) assuming the `Base2*` is not dereferenced. Changing to static cast could introduce breaking pointer arithmetic.
* Unnecessary (but safe) pointer arithmetic could arise in a case like `Derived*` -> `Base2*` -> `Derived*` where before the Base2 pointer might not have been dereferenced. This could potentially affect performance.
With some light scripting, I tried replacing pointer-to-pointer reinterpret_casts with static_cast and kept the cases that still compile. Most occurrences of reinterpret_cast have successfully been changed (except for java/ and third-party/). 294 changed, 257 remain.
A couple of related interventions included here:
* Previously Cache::Handle was not actually derived from in the implementations and just used as a `void*` stand-in with reinterpret_cast. Now there is a relationship to allow static_cast. In theory, this could introduce pointer arithmetic (as described above) but is unlikely without multiple inheritance AND non-empty Cache::Handle.
* Remove some unnecessary casts to void* as this is allowed to be implicit (for better or worse).
Most of the remaining reinterpret_casts are for converting to/from raw bytes of objects. We could consider better idioms for these patterns in follow-up work.
I wish there were a way to implement a template variant of static_cast that would only compile if no pointer arithmetic is generated, but best I can tell, this is not possible. AFAIK the best you could do is a dynamic check that the void* conversion after the static cast is unchanged.

Summary:
Previously, the flushes triggered by `WriteBufferManager` could affect
the same CF repeatedly if it happens to get consecutive writes. Such
flushes are not particularly useful for reducing memory usage since
they switch nearly-empty memtables to immutable while they've just begun
filling their first arena block. In fact they may not even reduce the
mutable memory count if they involve replacing one mutable memtable containing
one arena block with a new mutable memtable containing one arena block.
Further, if such switches happen even a few times before a flush finishes,
the immutable memtable limit will be reached and writes will stall.
This PR adds a heuristic to not switch memtables to immutable for CFs
that already have one or more immutable memtables awaiting flush. There
is a memory usage regression if the user continues writing to the same
CF, that DB does not have any CFs eligible for switching, flushes
are not finishing, and the `WriteBufferManager` was constructed with
`allow_stall=false`. Before, it would grow by switching nearly empty
memtables until writes stall. Now, it would grow by filling memtables
until writes stall. This feels like an acceptable behavior change because
users who prefer to stall over violate the memory limit should be using
`allow_stall=true`, which is unaffected by this PR.

Summary:
When WriteBufferManager is shared across DBs and column families
to maintain memory usage under a limit, OOMs have been observed when flush cannot
finish but writes continuously insert to memtables.
In order to avoid OOMs, when memory usage goes beyond buffer_limit_ and DBs tries to write,
this change will stall incoming writers until flush is completed and memory_usage
drops.
Design: Stall condition: When total memory usage exceeds WriteBufferManager::buffer_size_
(memory_usage() >= buffer_size_) WriterBufferManager::ShouldStall() returns true.
DBImpl first block incoming/future writers by calling write_thread_.BeginWriteStall()
(which adds dummy stall object to the writer's queue).
Then DB is blocked on a state State::Blocked (current write doesn't go
through). WBStallInterface object maintained by every DB instance is added to the queue of
WriteBufferManager.
If multiple DBs tries to write during this stall, they will also be
blocked when check WriteBufferManager::ShouldStall() returns true.
End Stall condition: When flush is finished and memory usage goes down, stall will end only if memory
waiting to be flushed is less than buffer_size/2. This lower limit will give time for flush
to complete and avoid continous stalling if memory usage remains close to buffer_size.
WriterBufferManager::EndWriteStall() is called,
which removes all instances from its queue and signal them to continue.
Their state is changed to State::Running and they are unblocked. DBImpl
then signal all incoming writers of that DB to continue by calling
write_thread_.EndWriteStall() (which removes dummy stall object from the
queue).
DB instance creates WBMStallInterface which is an interface to block and
signal DBs during stall.
When DB needs to be blocked or signalled by WriteBufferManager,
state_for_wbm_ state is changed accordingly (RUNNING or BLOCKED).
