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:
We haven't been actively mantaining RocksDB LITE recently and the size must have been gone up significantly. We are removing the support.
Most of changes were done through following comments:
unifdef -m -UROCKSDB_LITE `git grep -l ROCKSDB_LITE | egrep '[.](cc|h)'`
by Peter Dillinger. Others changes were manually applied to build scripts, CircleCI manifests, ROCKSDB_LITE is used in an expression and file db_stress_test_base.cc.

Summary:
`Replayer::Execute()` can directly returns the result (e.g, request latency, DB::Get() return code, returned value, etc.)
`Replayer::Replay()` reports the results via a callback function.
New interface:
`TraceRecordResult` in "rocksdb/trace_record_result.h".
`DBTest2.TraceAndReplay` and `DBTest2.TraceAndManualReplay` are updated accordingly.

Summary:
- Remove extra `;` in trace_record.h
- Remove some unnecessary `assert` in trace_record_handler.cc
- Initialize `env_` after` exec_handler_` in `ReplayerImpl` to let db be asserted in creating the handler before getting `db->GetEnv()`.
- Update history to include the new `TraceReader::Reset()`

Summary:
New public interfaces:
`TraceRecord` and `TraceRecord::Handler`, available in "rocksdb/trace_record.h".
`Replayer`, available in `rocksdb/utilities/replayer.h`.
User can use `DB::NewDefaultReplayer()` to create a Replayer to auto/manual replay a trace file.
Unit tests:
- `./db_test2 --gtest_filter="DBTest2.TraceAndReplay"`: Updated with the internal API changes.
- `./db_test2 --gtest_filter="DBTest2.TraceAndManualReplay"`: New for manual replay.
