Summary:
Since Andres' internship is over, I took over https://reviews.facebook.net/D42555 and rebased and simplified it a bit.
The behavior in this diff is a bit simpler than in D42555:
* only merge operators are passed through FilterMergeValue(). If fitler function returns true, the merge operator is ignored
* compaction filter is *not* called on: 1) results of merge operations and 2) base values that are getting merged with merge operands (the second case was also true in previous diff)
Do we also need a compaction filter to get called on merge results?

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:
While working on supporting mixing merge operators with
single deletes ( https://reviews.facebook.net/D43179 ),
I realized that returning and dealing with merge results
can be made simpler. Submitting this as a separate diff
because it is not directly related to single deletes.
Before, callers of merge helper had to retrieve the merge
result in one of two ways depending on whether the merge
was successful or not (success = result of merge was single
kTypeValue). For successful merges, the caller could query
the resulting key/value pair and for unsuccessful merges,
the result could be retrieved in the form of two deques of
keys and values. However, with single deletes, a successful merge
does not return a single key/value pair (if merge
operands are merged with a single delete, we have to generate
a value and keep the original single delete around to make
sure that we are not accidentially producing a key overwrite).
In addition, the two existing call sites of the merge
helper were taking the same actions independently from whether
the merge was successful or not, so this patch simplifies that.

Summary:
MergeUntil was not reporting a success when merging an operand with
a Value/Deletion despite the comments in MergeHelper and CompactionJob
indicating otherwise. This lead to operands being written to the compaction
output unnecessarily:
M1 M2 M3 P M4 M5 --> (P+M1+M2+M3) M2 M3 M4 M5 (before the diff)
M1 M2 M3 P M4 M5 --> (P+M1+M2+M3) M4 M5 (after the diff)
In addition, the code handling Values/Deletion was basically identical.
This patch unifies the code. Finally, this patch also adds testing for
merge_helper.
