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:
Instead of existing calls to ps from gnu_parallel, call a new wrapper that does ps, looks for unit test like processes, and uses pstack or gdb to print thread stack traces. Also, using `ps -wwf` instead of `ps -wf` ensures output is not cut off.
For security, CircleCI runs with security restrictions on ptrace (/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope = 1), and this change adds a work-around to `InstallStackTraceHandler()` (only used by testing tools) to allow any process from the same user to debug it. (I've also touched >100 files to ensure all the unit tests call this function.)

Summary:
Various tests had disabled valgrind due to it slowing down and timing
out (as is the case right now) the CI runs. Where a test was disabled with no comment,
I assumed slowness was the cause. For these tests that were slow under
valgrind, as well as the ones identified in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8352, this PR moves them
behind the compiler flag `-DROCKSDB_FULL_VALGRIND_RUN`.

Summary
========
`InlineSkipList<>::Insert` takes the `key` parameter as a C-string. Then, it performs multiple comparisons with it requiring the `GetLengthPrefixedSlice()` to be spawn in `MemTable::KeyComparator::operator()(const char* prefix_len_key1, const char* prefix_len_key2)` on the same data over and over. The patch tries to optimize that.

Summary:
Currently DB does not accept duplicate keys (keys with the same user key and the same sequence number). If Memtable returns false when receiving such keys, we can benefit from this signal to properly increase the sequence number in the rare cases when we have a duplicate key in the write batch written to DB under WritePrepared transactions.

Summary:
When we had a single thread pool for compactions, a thread could be busy for a long time (minutes) executing a compaction involving the bottom level. In multi-instance setups, the entire thread pool could be consumed by such bottom-level compactions. Then, top-level compactions (e.g., a few L0 files) would be blocked for a long time ("head-of-line blocking"). Such top-level compactions are critical to prevent compaction stalls as they can quickly reduce number of L0 files / sorted runs.
This diff introduces a bottom-priority queue for universal compactions including the bottom level. This alleviates the head-of-line blocking situation for fast, top-level compactions.
- Added `Env::Priority::BOTTOM` thread pool. This feature is only enabled if user explicitly configures it to have a positive number of threads.
- Changed `ThreadPoolImpl`'s default thread limit from one to zero. This change is invisible to users as we call `IncBackgroundThreadsIfNeeded` on the low-pri/high-pri pools during `DB::Open` with values of at least one. It is necessary, though, for bottom-pri to start with zero threads so the feature is disabled by default.
- Separated `ManualCompaction` into two parts in `PrepickedCompaction`. `PrepickedCompaction` is used for any compaction that's picked outside of its execution thread, either manual or automatic.
- Forward universal compactions involving last level to the bottom pool (worker thread's entry point is `BGWorkBottomCompaction`).
- Track `bg_bottom_compaction_scheduled_` so we can wait for bottom-level compactions to finish. We don't count them against the background jobs limits. So users of this feature will get an extra compaction for free.
