Summary:
Copy data between buffers inside FilePrefetchBuffer only when chunk length is greater than 0. Otherwise AlignedBuffer was accessing memory out of its range causing crashes.
Removing the tracking of buffer length outside of `AlignedBuffer`, i.e. in `FilePrefetchBuffer` and `ReadaheadRandomAccessFile`, will follow in a separate PR, as it is not the root cause of the crash reported in #4051. (`FilePrefetchBuffer` itself has been this way from its inception, and `ReadaheadRandomAccessFile` was updated to add the buffer length at some point).
Comprehensive tests for `FilePrefetchBuffer` also to follow in a separate PR.

Summary:
This PR extends the improvements in #3282 to also work when using Direct IO.
We see **4.5X performance improvement** in seekrandom benchmark doing long range scans, when using direct reads, on flash.
**Description:**
This change improves the performance of iterators doing long range scans (e.g. big/full index or table scans in MyRocks) by using readahead and prefetching additional data on each disk IO, and storing in a local buffer. This prefetching is automatically enabled on noticing more than 2 IOs for the same table file during iteration. The readahead size starts with 8KB and is exponentially increased on each additional sequential IO, up to a max of 256 KB. This helps in cutting down the number of IOs needed to complete the range scan.
**Implementation Details:**
- Used `FilePrefetchBuffer` as the underlying buffer to store the readahead data. `FilePrefetchBuffer` can now take file_reader, readahead_size and max_readahead_size as input to the constructor, and automatically do readahead.
- `FilePrefetchBuffer::TryReadFromCache` can now call `FilePrefetchBuffer::Prefetch` if readahead is enabled.
- `AlignedBuffer` (which is the underlying store for `FilePrefetchBuffer`) now takes a few additional args in `AlignedBuffer::AllocateNewBuffer` to allow copying data from the old buffer.
- Made sure not to re-read partial chunks of data that were already available in the buffer, from device again.
- Fixed a couple of cases where `AlignedBuffer::cursize_` was not being properly kept up-to-date.
**Constraints:**
- Similar to #3282, this gets currently enabled only when ReadOptions.readahead_size = 0 (which is the default value).
- Since the prefetched data is stored in a temporary buffer allocated on heap, this could increase the memory usage if you have many iterators doing long range scans simultaneously.
- Enabled only for user reads, and disabled for compactions. Compaction reads are controlled by the options `use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction` and `compaction_readahead_size`, and the current feature takes precautions not to mess with them.
**Benchmarks:**
I used the same benchmark as used in #3282.
Data fill:
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=1000000000 -compression_type="none" -level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes
```
Do a long range scan: Seekrandom with large number of nexts
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=seekrandom -use_direct_reads -duration=60 -num=1000000000 -use_existing_db -seek_nexts=10000 -statistics -histogram
```
```
Before:
seekrandom : 37939.906 micros/op 26 ops/sec; 29.2 MB/s (1636 of 1999 found)
With this change:
seekrandom : 8527.720 micros/op 117 ops/sec; 129.7 MB/s (6530 of 7999 found)
```
~4.5X perf improvement. Taken on an average of 3 runs.

Summary:
Provide a block_align option in BlockBasedTableOptions to allow
alignment of SST file data blocks. This will avoid higher
IOPS/throughput load due to < 4KB data blocks spanning 2 4KB pages.
When this option is set to true, the block alignment is set to lower of
block size and 4KB.

Summary:
FilePrefetchBuffer::Prefetch is currently rounds the offset up which does not fit its new use cases in prefetching index/filter blocks, as it would skips over some the offsets that were requested to be prefetched. This patch rounds down instead.

Summary:
Currently for direct I/O, the large maximum buffer is always allocated. This will be wasteful if users flush the data in much smaller chunks. This diff fix this by changing the behavior of incremental buffer works. When we enlarge buffer, we try to copy the existing data in the buffer to the enlarged buffer, rather than flush the buffer first. This can make sure that no extra I/O is introduced because of buffer enlargement.

Summary:
Remove double buffering on RandomRead on Windows.
With more logic appear in file reader/write Read no longer
obeys forwarding calls to Windows implementation.
Previously direct_io (unbuffered) was only available on Windows
but now is supported as generic.
We remove intermediate buffering on Windows.
Remove random_access_max_buffer_size option which was windows specific.
Non-zero values for that opton introduced unnecessary lock contention.
Remove Env::EnableReadAhead(), Env::ShouldForwardRawRequest() that are
no longer necessary.
Add aligned buffer reads for cases when requested reads exceed read ahead size.

remove unnecessary classes and unified interfaces

Summary. A change https://reviews.facebook.net/differential/diff/224721/
Has attempted to move common functionality out of platform dependent
code to a new facility called file_reader_writer.
This includes:
- perf counters
- Buffering
- RateLimiting
However, the change did not attempt to refactor Windows code.
To mitigate, we introduce new quering interfaces such as UseOSBuffer(),
GetRequiredBufferAlignment() and ReaderWriterForward()
for pure forwarding where required.
Introduce WritableFile got a new method Truncate(). This is to communicate
to the file as to how much data it has on close.
- When space is pre-allocated on Linux it is filled with zeros implicitly,
no such thing exist on Windows so we must truncate file on close.
- When operating in unbuffered mode the last page is filled with zeros but we still want to truncate.
Previously, Close() would take care of it but now buffer management is shifted to the wrappers and the file has
no idea about the file true size.
This means that Close() on the wrapper level must always include
Truncate() as well as wrapper __dtor should call Close() and
against double Close().
Move buffered/unbuffered write logic to the wrapper.
Utilize Aligned buffer class.
Adjust tests and implement Truncate() where necessary.
Come up with reasonable defaults for new virtual interfaces.
Forward calls for RandomAccessReadAhead class to avoid double
buffering and locking (double locking in unbuffered mode on WIndows).
