Summary:
In theory, there should be no danger in mutability, as table
builders and readers work from copies of BlockBasedTableOptions.
However, there is currently an unresolved read-write race that
affecting SetOptions on BBTO fields. This should be generally
acceptable for non-pointer options of 64 bits or less, but a fix
is needed to make it mutability general here. See
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10079
This change systematically sets all of those "simple" options (and future
such options) as mutable. (Resurrecting this PR perhaps preferable to
proposed https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/13063)

Summary:
Add the `ApplyToHandle` method to the `Cache` interface to allow a caller to request the invocation of a callback on the given cache handle. The goal here is to allow a cache that manages multiple cache instances to use a callback on a handle to determine which instance it belongs to. For example, the callback can hash the key and use that to pick the correct target instance. This is useful to redirect methods like `Ref` and `Release`, which don't know the cache key.

Summary:
Currently, when files become obsolete, the block cache entries associated with them just age out naturally. With pure LRU, this is not too bad, as once you "use" enough cache entries to (re-)fill the cache, you are guranteed to have purged the obsolete entries. However, HyperClockCache is a counting clock cache with a somewhat longer memory, so could be more negatively impacted by previously-hot cache entries becoming obsolete, and taking longer to age out than newer single-hit entries.
Part of the reason we still have this natural aging-out is that there's almost no connection between block cache entries and the file they are associated with. Everything is hashed into the same pool(s) of entries with nothing like a secondary index based on file. Keeping track of such an index could be expensive.
This change adds a new, mutable CF option `uncache_aggressiveness` for erasing obsolete block cache entries. The process can be speculative, lossy, or unproductive because not all potential block cache entries associated with files will be resident in memory, and attempting to remove them all could be wasted CPU time. Rather than a simple on/off switch, `uncache_aggressiveness` basically tells RocksDB how much CPU you're willing to burn trying to purge obsolete block cache entries. When such efforts are not sufficiently productive for a file, we stop and move on.
The option is in ColumnFamilyOptions so that it is dynamically changeable for already-open files, and customizeable by CF.
Note that this block cache removal happens as part of the process of purging obsolete files, which is often in a background thread (depending on `background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup` and `avoid_unnecessary_blocking_io` options) rather than along CPU critical paths.
Notable auxiliary code details:
* Possibly fixing some issues with trivial moves with `only_delete_metadata`: unnecessary TableCache::Evict in that case and missing from the ObsoleteFileInfo move operator. (Not able to reproduce an current failure.)
* Remove suspicious TableCache::Erase() from VersionSet::AddObsoleteBlobFile() (TODO follow-up item)
Marked EXPERIMENTAL until more thorough validation is complete.
Direct stats of this functionality are omitted because they could be misleading. Block cache hit rate is a better indicator of benefit, and CPU profiling a better indicator of cost.

Conclusion: up to roughly 1 percentage point of improved block cache hit rate, likely leading to overall improved efficiency (because the foreground CPU cost of cache misses likely outweighs the background CPU cost of erasure, let alone I/O savings).

Summary:
A `BlockBasedTable` with `TieredSecondaryCache` containing a NVM cache inserts blocks into the compressed cache and the corresponding compressed block into the NVM cache. The `BlockFetcher` is used to get the uncompressed and compressed blocks by calling `ReadBlockContents()` and `GetUncompressedBlock()` respectively. If the file system supports FSBuffer (i.e returning a FS allocated buffer rather than caller provided), that buffer gets freed between the two calls. This PR fixes it by making the FSBuffer unique pointer a member rather than local variable.

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:
HyperClockCache is intended to mitigate performance problems under stress conditions (as well as optimizing average-case parallel performance). In LRUCache, the biggest such problem is lock contention when one or a small number of cache entries becomes particularly hot. Regardless of cache sharding, accesses to any particular cache entry are linearized against a single mutex, which is held while each access updates the LRU list. All HCC variants are fully lock/wait-free for accessing blocks already in the cache, which fully mitigates this contention problem.
However, HCC (and CLOCK in general) can exhibit extremely degraded performance under a different stress condition: when no (or almost no) entries in a cache shard are evictable (they are pinned). Unlike LRU which can find any evictable entries immediately (at the cost of more coordination / synchronization on each access), CLOCK has to search for evictable entries. Under the right conditions (almost exclusively MB-scale caches not GB-scale), the CPU cost of each cache miss could fall off a cliff and bog down the whole system.
To effectively mitigate this problem (IMHO), I'm introducing a new default behavior and tuning parameter for HCC, `eviction_effort_cap`. See the comments on the new config parameter in the public API.

Test Plan:
unit test included
## Performance test
We can use cache_bench to validate no regression (CPU and memory) in normal operation, and to measure change in behavior when cache is almost entirely pinned. (TODO: I'm not sure why I had to get the pinned ratio parameter well over 1.0 to see truly bad performance, but the behavior is there.) Build with `make DEBUG_LEVEL=0 USE_CLANG=1 PORTABLE=0 cache_bench`. We also set MALLOC_CONF="narenas:1" for all these runs to essentially remove jemalloc variances from the results, so that the max RSS given by /usr/bin/time is essentially ideal (assuming the allocator minimizes fragmentation and other memory overheads well). Base command reproducing bad behavior:
```
./cache_bench -cache_type=auto_hyper_clock_cache -threads=12 -histograms=0 -pinned_ratio=1.7
```
```
Before, LRU (alternate baseline not exhibiting bad behavior):
Rough parallel ops/sec = 2290997
1088060 maxresident
Before, AutoHCC (bad behavior):
Rough parallel ops/sec = 141011 <- Yes, more than 10x slower
1083932 maxresident
```
Now let us sample a range of values in the solution space:
```
After, AutoHCC, eviction_effort_cap = 1:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 3212586
2402216 maxresident
After, AutoHCC, eviction_effort_cap = 10:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 2371639
1248884 maxresident
After, AutoHCC, eviction_effort_cap = 30:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 1981092
1131596 maxresident
After, AutoHCC, eviction_effort_cap = 100:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 1446188
1090976 maxresident
After, AutoHCC, eviction_effort_cap = 1000:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 549568
1084064 maxresident
```
I looks like `cap=30` is a sweet spot balancing acceptable CPU and memory overheads, so is chosen as the default.
```
Change to -pinned_ratio=0.85
Before, LRU:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 2108373
1078232 maxresident
Before, AutoHCC, averaged over ~20 runs:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 2164910
1077312 maxresident
After, AutoHCC, eviction_effort_cap = 30, averaged over ~20 runs:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 2145542
1077216 maxresident
```
The slight CPU improvement above is consistent with the cap, with no measurable memory overhead under moderate stress.
```
Change to -pinned_ratio=0.25 (low stress)
Before, AutoHCC, averaged over ~20 runs:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 2221149
1076540 maxresident
After, AutoHCC, eviction_effort_cap = 30, averaged over ~20 runs:
Rough parallel ops/sec = 2224521
1076664 maxresident
```
No measurable difference under normal circumstances.
Some tests repeated with FixedHCC, with similar results.

Summary:
`CacheWithSecondaryAdapter` can distribute placeholder reservations across the primary and secondary caches. The current implementation of the accounting is quite complicated in order to avoid using a mutex. This may cause the accounting to be slightly off after changes to the cache capacity and ratio, resulting in assertion failures. There's also a bug in the unlikely event that the total reservation exceeds the cache capacity. Furthermore, the current implementation is difficult to reason about.
This PR simplifies it by doing the accounting while holding a mutex. The reservations are processed in 1MB chunks in order to avoid taking a lock too frequently. As a side effect, this also removes the restriction of not allowing to increase the compressed secondary cache capacity after decreasing it to 0.

Summary:
This change simplifies some code and logic by introducing a new atomic field that tracks the next slot to grow into. It should offer slightly better performance during the growth phase (not measurable; see Test Plan below) and fix a suspected (but unconfirmed) bug like this:
* Thread 1 is in non-trivial SplitForGrow() with grow_home=n.
* Thread 2 reaches Grow() with grow_home=2n, and waits at the start of SplitForGrow() for the rewrite lock on n. By this point, the head at 2n is marked with the new shift amount but no chain is locked.
* Thread 3 reaches Grow() with grow_home=4n, and waits before SplitForGrow() for the rewrite lock on n. By this point, the head at 4n is marked with the new shift amount but no chain is locked.
* Thread 4 reaches Grow() with grow_home=8n and meets no resistance to proceeding through a SplitForGrow() on an empty chain, permanently missing out on any entries from chain n that should have ended up here.
This is fixed by not updating the shift amount at the grow_home head until we have checked the preconditions that Grow()s feeding into this one have completed.

Summary:
I have finally tracked down and fixed a bug affecting AutoHCC that was causing CI crash test assertion failures in AutoHCC when using secondary cache, but I was only able to reproduce locally a couple of times, after very long runs/repetitions.
It turns out that the essential feature used by secondary cache to trigger the bug is Insert without keeping a handle, which is otherwise rarely used in RocksDB and not incorporated into cache_bench (also used for targeted correctness stress testing) until this change (new option `-blind_insert_percent`).
The problem was in copying some logic from FixedHCC that makes the entry "sharable" but unreferenced once populated, if no reference is to be saved. The problem in AutoHCC is that we can only add the entry to a chain after it is in the sharable state, and must be removed from the chain while in the "under (de)construction" state and before it is back in the "empty" state. Also, it is possible for Lookup to find entries that are not connected to any chain, by design for efficiency, and for Release to erase_if_last_ref. Therefore, we could have
* Thread 1 starts to Insert a cache entry without keeping ref, and pauses before adding to the chain.
* Thread 2 finds it with Lookup optimizations, and then does Release with `erase_if_last_ref=true` causing it to trigger erasure on the entry. It successfully locks the home chain for the entry and purges any entries pending erasure. It is OK that this entry is not found on the chain, as another thread is allowed to remove it from the chain before we are able to (but after is it marked for (de)construction). And after the purge of the chain, the entry is marked empty.
* Thread 1 resumes in adding the slot (presumed entry) to the home chain for what was being inserted, but that now violates invariants and sets up a race or double-chain-reference as another thread could insert a new entry in the slot and try to insert into a different chain.
This is easily fixed by holding on to a reference until inserted onto the chain.

Summary:
and some other small enhancements/fixes:
* The main bug fixed is that in some rare cases, the "published" table size might be smaller than the actual table size. This is a transient state that can happen with concurrent growth that is normally fixed after enough insertions, but if the cache is destroyed soon enough after growth, it could fail to fully destroy some entries and cause assertion failures. We can fix this by detecting the true table size in the destructor.
* Change the "too many iterations" debug threshold from 512 to 768. We might have hit at least one false positive failure. (Failed despite legitimate operation.)
* Added some stronger assertions in some places to aid in debugging.
* Use COERCE_CONTEXT_SWITCH to make behavior of Grow less predictable in terms of thread interleaving. (Might add in more places.) This was useful in reproducing the destructor bug.
* Fix some comments with typos or that were based on earlier revisions of the code.

Saw this in stress test:
```
db_stress: cache/clock_cache.cc:3152:[...] Assertion `i < 0x2000' failed.
```
The problem is related to Lookups on a chain currently involved in a Grow operation. To avoid Lookup waiting on Grow, Lookup is able to walk a chain whose first part is already migrated and tail is not yet migrated, so is mixed with entries with a different destination home (according to `home_shift`) than what we're looking for. This is fine until we save one of these entries as a safe point in the chain to backtrack to (`read_ref_on_chain`) in case of concurrent modification and end up backtracking to it. In that case, we can get stuck on the wrong destination chain and keep trying to backtrack to an entry that is supposed to be on the correct chain but is not (anymore).
For some reason I haven't quite worked out, I believe it's usually able to recover after some 1000+ looop iterations, so reproducibility depends on the threshold at which we consider a Lookup loop to be too many iterations for a plausibly valid Lookup.
Detecting and working around this case is relatively simple. We can (and must) keep going on the chain but ensure we don't save it as a safe entry to backtrack to.

Summary:
Updating the tiered cache (cache allocated using ```NewTieredCache()```) by calling ```SetCapacity()``` on it was not working properly. The initial creation would set the primary cache capacity to the combined primary and compressed secondary cache capacity. But ```SetCapacity()``` would just set the primary cache capacity, with no way to change the secondary cache capacity. Additionally, the API was confusing, since the primary and compressed secondary capacities would be specified separately during creation, but ```SetCapacity``` took the combined capacity.
With this fix, the user always specifies the total budget and compressed secondary cache ratio on creation. Subsequently, `SetCapacity` will distribute the new capacity across the two caches by the same ratio. The `NewTieredCache` API has been changed to take the total cache capacity (inclusive of both the primary and the compressed secondary cache) and the ratio of total capacity to allocate to the compressed cache. These are specified in `TieredCacheOptions`. Any capacity specified in `LRUCacheOptions`, `HyperClockCacheOptions` and `CompressedSecondaryCacheOptions` is ignored. A new API, `UpdateTieredCache` is provided to dynamically update the total capacity, ratio of compressed cache, and admission policy.

Summary:
## The Problem
Mark Callaghan found a performance bug in yet-unreleased AutoHCC (which should have been found in my own testing). The observed behavior is very slow insertion performance as the table is growing into a very large structure. The root cause is the precarious combination of linear hashing (indexing into the table while allowing growth) and linear probing (for finding an empty slot to insert into). Naively combined, this is a disaster because in linear hashing, part of the table is twice as dense as first probing location as the rest. Thus, even a modest load factor like 0.6 could cause the dense part of the table to degrade to linear search. The code had a correction for this imbalance, which works in steady-state operation, but failed to account for the concentrating effect of table growth. Specifically, newly-added slots were underpopulated which allowed old slots to become over-populated and degrade to linear search, even in single-threaded operation. Here's an example:
```
./cache_bench -cache_type=auto_hyper_clock_cache -threads=1 -populate_cache=0 -value_bytes=500 -cache_size=3000000000 -histograms=0 -report_problems -ops_per_thread=20000000 -resident_ratio=0.6
```
AutoHCC: Complete in 774.213 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 25832
FixedHCC: Complete in 19.630 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 1018840
LRUCache: Complete in 25.842 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 773947
## The Fix
One small change is apparently sufficient to fix the problem, but I wanted to re-optimize the whole "finding a good empty slot" algorithm to improve safety margins for good performance and to improve typical case performance.
The small change is to track the newly-added slot from Grow in Insert, when applicable, and use that slot for insertion if (a) the home slot is already occupied, and (b) the newly-added slot is empty. This appears to sufficiently load new slots while avoiding over-population of either old or new slots. See `likely_empty_slot`.
However I've also made the logic much more resilient to parts of the table becoming over-populated. I tested a variant that used double hashing instead of linear probing and found that hurt steady-state average-case performance, presumably due to loss of locality in the chains. And even conventional double hashing might not be ideally robust against density skew in the table (still present because of home location bias), because double hashing might choose a small increment that could take a long time to iterate to the under-populated part of the table.
The compromise that seems to bring the best of each approach is this: do linear probing (+1 at a time) within a small bound (chosen bound of 4 based on performance testing) and then fall back on a double-hashing variant if no slot has been found. The double-hashing variant uses a probing increment that is always close to the golden ratio, relative to the table size, so that any under-populated regions of the table can be found relatively quickly, without introducing any additional skew. And the increment is varied slightly to avoid clustering effects that could happen with a fixed increment (regardless of how big it is).
And that leaves us with one remaining problem: the double hashing increment might not be relatively prime to the table size, so the probing sequence might be a cycle that does not cover the full set of slots. To solve this we can use a technique I developed many years ago (probably also developed by others) that simply adds one (in modular arithmetic) whenever we finish a (potentially incomplete) cycle. This is a simple and reasonably efficient way to iterate over all the slots without repetition, regardless of whether the increment is not relatively prime to the table size, or even zero.

## Performance
Ignoring old AutoHCC performance, as we established above it could be terrible. FixedHCC and LRUCache are unaffected by this change. All tests below include this change.
### Getting up to size, single thread
(same cache_bench command as above, all three run at same time)
AutoHCC: Complete in 26.724 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 748400
FixedHCC: Complete in 19.987 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 1000631
LRUCache: Complete in 28.291 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 706939
Single-threaded faster than LRUCache (often / sometimes) is good. FixedHCC has an obvious advantage because it starts at full size.
### Multiple threads, steady state, high hit rate ~95%
Using `-threads=10 -populate_cache=1 -ops_per_thread=10000000` and still `-resident_ratio=0.6`
AutoHCC: Complete in 48.778 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 2050119
FixedHCC: Complete in 46.569 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 2147329
LRUCache: Complete in 50.537 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 1978735
### Multiple threads, steady state, low hit rate ~50%
Change to `-resident_ratio=0.2`
AutoHCC: Complete in 49.264 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 2029884
FixedHCC: Complete in 49.750 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 2010041
LRUCache: Complete in 53.002 s; Rough parallel ops/sec = 1886713
Don't expect AutoHCC to be consistently faster than FixedHCC, but they are at least similar in these benchmarks.

Summary:
This PR implements support for a three tier cache - primary block cache, compressed secondary cache, and a nvm (local flash) secondary cache. This allows more effective utilization of the nvm cache, and minimizes the number of reads from local flash by caching compressed blocks in the compressed secondary cache.
The basic design is as follows -
1. A new secondary cache implementation, ```TieredSecondaryCache```, is introduced. It keeps the compressed and nvm secondary caches and manages the movement of blocks between them and the primary block cache. To setup a three tier cache, we allocate a ```CacheWithSecondaryAdapter```, with a ```TieredSecondaryCache``` instance as the secondary cache.
2. The table reader passes both the uncompressed and compressed block to ```FullTypedCacheInterface::InsertFull```, allowing the block cache to optionally store the compressed block.
3. When there's a miss, the block object is constructed and inserted in the primary cache, and the compressed block is inserted into the nvm cache by calling ```InsertSaved```. This avoids the overhead of recompressing the block, as well as avoiding putting more memory pressure on the compressed secondary cache.
4. When there's a hit in the nvm cache, we attempt to insert the block in the compressed secondary cache and the primary cache, subject to the admission policy of those caches (i.e admit on second access). Blocks/items evicted from any tier are simply discarded.
We can easily implement additional admission policies if desired.
Todo (In a subsequent PR):
1. Add to db_bench and run benchmarks
2. Add to db_stress

Summary:
This change add an experimental next-generation HyperClockCache (HCC) with automatic sizing of the underlying hash table. Both the existing version (stable) and the new version (experimental for now) of HCC are available depending on whether an estimated average entry charge is provided in HyperClockCacheOptions.
Internally, we call the two implementations AutoHyperClockCache (new) and FixedHyperClockCache (existing). The performance characteristics and much of the underlying logic are similar enough that AutoHCC is likely to make FixedHCC obsolete, and so it's best considered an evolution of the same technology or solution rather than an alternative. More specifically, both implementations share essentially the same logic for managing the state of individual entries in the cache, including metadata for reference counting and counting clocks for eviction. This metadata, which I like to call the "low-level HCC protocol," includes a read-write lock on entries, but relaxed consistency requirements on the cache (e.g. allowing rare duplication) means high-level cache operations never wait for these low-level per-entry locks. FixedHCC is fully wait-free.
AutoHCC is different in how entries are indexed into an efficient hash table. AutoHCC is "essentially wait-free" as there is no pattern of typical high-level operations on a large cache that can lead to one thread waiting on another to complete some work, though it can happen in some unusual/unlucky cases, or atypical uses such as erasing specific cache keys. Table growth and entry reclamation is more complex in AutoHCC compared to FixedHCC, so uses some localized locking to manage that. AutoHCC uses linear hashing to grow the table as needed, with low latency and to a precise size. AutoHCC depends on anonymous mmap support from the OS (currently verified working on Linux, MacOS, and Windows) to allow the array underlying a hash table to grow in place without wasting resident memory on space reserved but unused. AutoHCC uses a form of chaining while FixedHCC uses open addressing and double hashing.
More specifics:
* In developing this PR, a rare availability bug (minor) was noticed in the existing HCC implementation of Release()+erase_if_last_ref, which is now inherited into AutoHCC. Fixing this without a performance regression will not be simple, so is left for follow-up work.
* Some existing unit tests required adjustment of operational parameters or conditions to work with the new behaviors of AutoHCC. A number of bugs were found and fixed in the validation process, including getting unit tests in good working order.
* Added an option to cache_bench, `-degenerate_hash_bits` for correctness stress testing described below. For this, the tool uses the reverse-engineered hash function for HCC to generate keys in which the specified number of hash bits, in critical positions, have a fixed value. Essentially each degenerate hash bit will half the number of chain heads utilized and double the average chain length.

Test Plan:
unit tests updated, and already added to db crash test. Also
## Correctness
The code includes generous assertions to check for unexpected states, especially at destruction time, so should be able to detect critical concurrency bugs. Less serious "availability bugs" in which cache data is hidden or cleanly lost are more difficult to detect, but also less scary for data correctness (as long as performance is good and the design is sound).
In average operation, the structure is extremely low stress and low contention (see next section) so stressing the corner case logic requires artificially stressing the operating conditions. First, we keep the structure small to increase the number of threads hitting the same chain or entry, and just one cache shard. Second, we artificially degrade the hashing so that chains are much longer than typical, using the new `-degenerate_hash_bits` option to cache_bench. Third, we re-create the structure from scratch frequently in order to exercise the Grow logic repeatedly and to get the benefit of the consistency checks in the structure's destructor in debug builds. For cache_bench this also means disabling the single-threaded "populate cache" step (normally used for steady state performance testing). And of course use many more threads than cores to have many preemptions.
An effective test for working out bugs was this (using debug build of course):
```
while ./cache_bench -cache_type=auto_hyper_clock_cache -histograms=0 -cache_size=8000000 -threads=100 -populate_cache=0 -ops_per_thread=10000 -degenerate_hash_bits=6 -num_shard_bits=0; do :; done
```
Or even smaller cases. This setup has around 27 utilized chains, with around 35 entries each, and yield-waits more than 1 million times per second (very high contention; see next section). I have let this run for hours searching for any lingering issues.
I've also run cache_bench under ASAN, UBSAN, and TSAN.
## Essentially wait free
There is a counter for number of yield() calls when one thread is waiting on another. When we pre-populate the structure in a single thread,
```
./cache_bench -cache_type=auto_hyper_clock_cache -histograms=0 -populate_cache=1 -ops_per_thread=200000 2>&1 | grep Yield
```
We see something on the order of 1 yield call per second across 16 threads, even when we load the system other other jobs (parallel compilation). With -populate_cache=0, there are more yield opportunities with parallel table growth. On an otherwise unloaded system, we still see very small (single digit) yield counts, with a chance of getting into the thousands, and getting into 10s of thousands per second during table growth phase if the system is loaded with other jobs. However, I am not worried about this if performance is still good (see next section).
## Overall performance
Although cache_bench initially suggested performance very close to FixedHCC, there was a very noticeable performance hit under a db_bench setup like used in validating https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10626. Much of the difference has been reduced by optimizing Lookup with a "naive" pass that will almost always find entries quickly, and only falling back to the careful Lookup algorithm when not found in the first pass.
Setups (chosen to be sensitive to block cache performance), and compiled with USE_CLANG=1 JEMALLOC=1 PORTABLE=0 DEBUG_LEVEL=0:
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm base/db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=30000000 -disable_wal=1 -bloom_bits=16
```
### No regression on FixedHCC
Running before & after builds at the same time on a 48 core machine.
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm /usr/bin/time ./db_bench -benchmarks=readrandom[-X10],block_cache_entry_stats,cache_report_problems -readonly -num=30000000 -bloom_bits=16 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks=1 -cache_size=610000000 -duration 20 -threads=24 -cache_type=fixed_hyper_clock_cache -seed=1234
```
Before:
readrandom [AVG 10 runs] : 847234 (± 8150) ops/sec; 59.2 (± 0.6) MB/sec
703MB max RSS
After:
readrandom [AVG 10 runs] : 851021 (± 7929) ops/sec; 59.5 (± 0.6) MB/sec
706MB max RSS
Probably no material difference.
### Single-threaded performance
Using `[-X2]` and `-threads=1` and `-duration=30`, running all three at the same time:
lru_cache: 55100 ops/sec, then 55862 ops/sec (627MB max RSS)
fixed_hyper_clock_cache: 60496 ops/sec, then 61231 ops/sec (626MB max RSS)
auto_hyper_clock_cache: 47560 ops/sec, then 56081 ops/sec (626MB max RSS)
So AutoHCC has more ramp-up cost in the first pass as the cache grows to the appropriate size. (In single-threaded operation, the parallelizability and per-op low latency of table growth is overall slower.) However, once up to size, its performance is comparable to LRUCache. FixedHCC's lean operations still win overall when a good estimate is available.
If we look at HCC table stats, we can see that this configuration is not favorable to AutoHCC (and I have verified that other memory sizes do not yield substantially different results, until shards are under-sized for the full filters):
FixedHCC:
Slot occupancy stats: Overall 47% (124991/262144), Min/Max/Window = 28%/64%/500, MaxRun{Pos/Neg} = 17/22
AutoHCC:
Slot occupancy stats: Overall 59% (125781/209682), Min/Max/Window = 43%/82%/500, MaxRun{Pos/Neg} = 76/16
Head occupancy stats: Overall 43% (92259/209682), Min/Max/Window = 24%/74%/500, MaxRun{Pos/Neg} = 19/26
Entries at home count: 53350
FixedHCC configuration is relatively good for speed, and not ideal for space utilization. As is typical, AutoHCC has tighter control on metadata usage (209682 x 64 bytes rather than 262144 x 64 bytes), and the higher load factor is slightly worse for speed. LRUCache also has more metadata usage, at 199680 x 96 bytes of tracked metadata (plus roughly another 10% of that untracked in the head pointers), and that metadata is subject to fragmentation.
### Parallel performance, high hit rate

lru_cache: [AVG 10 runs] : 263629 (± 1425) ops/sec; 18.4 (± 0.1) MB/sec
655MB max RSS, 97.1% cache hit rate
fixed_hyper_clock_cache: [AVG 10 runs] : 479590 (± 8114) ops/sec; 33.5 (± 0.6) MB/sec

657MB max RSS, 97.1% cache hit rate
Even with just 10-way parallelism for each cache (though 30+/48 cores busy overall), LRUCache is already showing performance degradation, while AutoHCC is in the neighborhood of FixedHCC. And that brings us to the question of how AutoHCC holds up under extreme parallelism, so now independent runs with `-threads=100` (overloading 48 cores).
lru_cache: 438613 ops/sec, 827MB max RSS
fixed_hyper_clock_cache: 1651310 ops/sec, 812MB max RSS
auto_hyper_clock_cache: 1505875 ops/sec, 821MB max RSS (Yield count: 1089 over 30s)
Clearly, AutoHCC holds up extremely well under extreme parallelism, even closing some of the modest performance gap with FixedHCC.
### Parallel performance, low hit rate
To get down to roughly 50% cache hit rate, we use `-cache_index_and_filter_blocks=0 -cache_size=1650000000` with `-threads=10`. Here the extra cost of running counting clock eviction, especially on the chains of AutoHCC, are evident, especially with the lower contention of cache_index_and_filter_blocks=0:
lru_cache: 725231 ops/sec, 1770MB max RSS, 51.3% hit rate
fixed_hyper_clock_cache: 638620 ops/sec, 1765MB max RSS, 50.2% hit rate
auto_hyper_clock_cache: 541018 ops/sec, 1777MB max RSS, 50.8% hit rate

Summary:
* Add some options to cache_bench to use JemallocNodumpAllocator
* Make num_shard_bits option use and report cache-specific defaults
* Add a usleep option to sleep between operations, for simulating a workload with more CPU idle/wait time.
* Use const& for JemallocAllocatorOptions, to improve API usability (e.g. can bind to temporary `{}`)
* InstallStackTraceHandler()

Summary:
This PR implements a new admission policy for the compressed secondary cache, which includes the functionality of the existing policy, and also admits items evicted from the primary block cache with the hit bit set. Effectively, the new policy works as follows -
1. When an item is demoted from the primary cache without a hit, a placeholder is inserted in the compressed cache. A second demotion will insert the full entry.
2. When an item is promoted from the compressed cache to the primary cache for the first time, a placeholder is inserted in the primary. The second promotion inserts the full entry, while erasing it form the compressed cache.
3. If an item is demoted from the primary cache with the hit bit set, it is immediately inserted in the compressed secondary cache.
The ```TieredVolatileCacheOptions``` has been updated with a new option, ```adm_policy```, which allows the policy to be selected.

Summary:
* The plan is for AutoHyperClockCache to be selected when HyperClockCacheOptions::estimated_entry_charge == 0, and in that case to use a new configuration option min_avg_entry_charge for determining an extreme case maximum size for the hash table. For the placeholder, a hack is in place in HyperClockCacheOptions::MakeSharedCache() to make the unit tests happy despite the new options not really making sense with the current implementation.
* Mostly updating and refactoring tests to test both the current HCC (internal name FixedHyperClockCache) and a placeholder for the new version (internal name AutoHyperClockCache).
* Simplify some existing tests not to depend directly on cache type.
* Type-parameterize the shard-level unit tests, which unfortunately requires more syntax like `this->` in places for disambiguation.
* Added means of choosing auto_hyper_clock_cache to cache_bench, db_bench, and db_stress, including add to crash test.
* Add another templated class BaseHyperClockCache to reduce future copy-paste
* Added ReportProblems support to cache_bench
* Added a DEBUG-level diagnostic to ReportProblems for the variance in load factor throughout the table, which will become more of a concern with linear hashing to be used in the Auto implementation. Example with current Fixed HCC:
```
2023/08/10-13:41:41.602450 6ac36 [DEBUG] [che/clock_cache.cc:1507] Slot occupancy stats: Overall 49% (129008/262144), Min/Max/Window = 39%/60%/500, MaxRun{Pos/Neg} = 18/17
```
In other words, with overall occupancy of 49%, the lowest across any 500 contiguous cells is 39% and highest 60%. Longest run of occupied is 18 and longest run of unoccupied is 17. This seems consistent with random samples from a uniform distribution.

Test Plan: Shouldn't be any meaningful changes yet to production code or to what is tested, but there is temporary redundancy in testing until the new implementation is plugged in.

Summary:
I'm anticipating using the public name HyperClockCache for both the current version with a fixed-size table and the upcoming version with an automatically growing table. However, for simplicity of testing them as substantially distinct implementations, I want to give them distinct internal names, like FixedHyperClockCache and AutoHyperClockCache.
This change anticipates that by renaming to FixedHyperClockCache and assuming for now that all the unit tests run on HCC will run and behave similarly for the automatic HCC. Obviously updates will need to be made, but I'm trying to avoid uninteresting find & replace updates in what will be a large and engineering-heavy PR for AutoHCC

* Small enhancements to cache_bench
* Extra assertion in Unref
* Improve a CAS loop in ChargeUsageMaybeEvictStrict
* Put load factor constants in appropriate class
* Move `standalone` field to HyperClockTable::HandleImpl because it can be encoded differently in the upcoming dynamic HCC.
* Add a typed version of MemMapping to simplify some future code.

Summary:
... used in validating some HyperClockCache development in progress.
* Revamp the "populate cache" step to avoid redundant insertions (very rare in practice) and more consistently approach the desired resident_ratio while maintaining appropriate skew (still not perfect).
* Track and print hit ratio on lookups, to ensure a fair comparison is happening between implementations etc.
* Add an option to disable tracking and printing histograms (lots of output)
* Add an option to specify a random seed (for more reproducibility)
* Remove confusing/redundant "-skewed" option
