Summary:
* New public header unique_id.h and function GetUniqueIdFromTableProperties
which computes a universally unique identifier based on table properties
of table files from recent RocksDB versions.
* Generation of DB session IDs is refactored so that they are
guaranteed unique in the lifetime of a process running RocksDB.
(SemiStructuredUniqueIdGen, new test included.) Along with file numbers,
this enables SST unique IDs to be guaranteed unique among SSTs generated
in a single process, and "better than random" between processes.
See https://github.com/pdillinger/unique_id
* In addition to public API producing 'external' unique IDs, there is a function
for producing 'internal' unique IDs, with functions for converting between the
two. In short, the external ID is "safe" for things people might do with it, and
the internal ID enables more "power user" features for the future. Specifically,
the external ID goes through a hashing layer so that any subset of bits in the
external ID can be used as a hash of the full ID, while also preserving
uniqueness guarantees in the first 128 bits (bijective both on first 128 bits
and on full 192 bits).
Intended follow-up:
* Use the internal unique IDs in cache keys. (Avoid conflicts with https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8912) (The file offset can be XORed into
the third 64-bit value of the unique ID.)
* Publish the external unique IDs in FileStorageInfo (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8968)

Test Plan:
Unit tests added, and checking of unique ids in stress test.
NOTE in stress test we do not generate nearly enough files to thoroughly
stress uniqueness, but the test trims off pieces of the ID to check for
uniqueness so that we can infer (with some assumptions) stronger
properties in the aggregate.

Summary:
Env::GenerateUniqueId() works fine on Windows and on POSIX
where /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid exists. Our other implementation is
flawed and easily produces collision in a new multi-threaded test.
As we rely more heavily on DB session ID uniqueness, this becomes a
serious issue.
This change combines several individually suitable entropy sources
for reliable generation of random unique IDs, with goal of uniqueness
and portability, not cryptographic strength nor maximum speed.
Specifically:
* Moves code for getting UUIDs from the OS to port::GenerateRfcUuid
rather than in Env implementation details. Callers are now told whether
the operation fails or succeeds.
* Adds an internal API GenerateRawUniqueId for generating high-quality
128-bit unique identifiers, by combining entropy from three "tracks":
* Lots of info from default Env like time, process id, and hostname.
* std::random_device
* port::GenerateRfcUuid (when working)
* Built-in implementations of Env::GenerateUniqueId() will now always
produce an RFC 4122 UUID string, either from platform-specific API or
by converting the output of GenerateRawUniqueId.
DB session IDs now use GenerateRawUniqueId while DB IDs (not as
critical) try to use port::GenerateRfcUuid but fall back on
GenerateRawUniqueId with conversion to an RFC 4122 UUID.
GenerateRawUniqueId is declared and defined under env/ rather than util/
or even port/ because of the Env dependency.
Likely follow-up: enhance GenerateRawUniqueId to be faster after the
first call and to guarantee uniqueness within the lifetime of a single
process (imparting the same property onto DB session IDs).
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8708
Test Plan:
A new mini-stress test in env_test checks the various public
and internal APIs for uniqueness, including each track of
GenerateRawUniqueId individually. We can't hope to verify anywhere close
to 128 bits of entropy, but it can at least detect flaws as bad as the
old code. Serial execution of the new tests takes about 350 ms on
my machine.
