Summary:
Historically, `BlobFileReader` has returned the blob(s) read from the file
in the `PinnableSlice` provided by the client. This interface was
preserved when caching was implemented for blobs, which meant that
the blob data was copied multiple times when caching was in use: first,
into the client-provided `PinnableSlice` (by `BlobFileReader::SaveValue`),
and then, into the object stored in the cache (by `BlobSource::PutBlobIntoCache`).
The patch eliminates these copies and the related allocations by changing
`BlobFileReader` so it returns its results in the form of heap-allocated `BlobContents`
objects that can be directly inserted into the cache. The allocations backing
these `BlobContents` objects are made using the blob cache's allocator if the
blobs are to be inserted into the cache (i.e. if a cache is configured and the
`fill_cache` read option is set). Note: this PR focuses on the common case when
blobs are compressed; some further small optimizations are possible for uncompressed
blobs.

Summary:
With the current code, when a blob isn't found in the cache and gets read
from the blob file and then inserted into the cache, the application gets
passed the self-contained `PinnableSlice` resulting from the blob file read.
The patch changes this so that the `PinnableSlice` pins the cache entry
instead in this case.

Summary:
The patch adds a dedicated cache entry role for blob values and switches
to a registered deleter so that blobs show up as a separate bucket
(as opposed to "Misc") in the cache occupancy statistics, e.g.
```
Block cache entry stats(count,size,portion): DataBlock(133515,531.73 MB,13.6866%) BlobValue(1824855,3.10 GB,81.7071%) Misc(1,0.00 KB,0%)

Summary:
The patch improves the bookkeeping around the memory usage of
cached blobs in two ways: 1) it uses `malloc_usable_size`, which accounts
for allocator bin sizes etc., and 2) it also considers the memory usage
of the `BlobContents` object in addition to the blob itself. Note: some unit
tests had been relying on the cache charge being equal to the size of the
cached blob; these were updated.

Summary:
The patch introduces a new class called `BlobContents`, which represents
a single uncompressed blob value. We currently use `std::string` for this
purpose; `BlobContents` is somewhat smaller but the primary reason for a
dedicated class is that it enables certain improvements and optimizations
like eliding a copy when inserting a blob into the cache, using custom
allocators, or more control over and better accounting of the memory usage
of cached blobs (see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10484).
(We plan to implement these in subsequent PRs.)

Summary:
RocksDB's `Cache` abstraction currently supports two priority levels for items: high (used for frequently accessed/highly valuable SST metablocks like index/filter blocks) and low (used for SST data blocks). Blobs are typically lower-value targets for caching than data blocks, since 1) with BlobDB, data blocks containing blob references conceptually form an index structure which has to be consulted before we can read the blob value, and 2) cached blobs represent only a single key-value, while cached data blocks generally contain multiple KVs. Since we would like to make it possible to use the same backing cache for the block cache and the blob cache, it would make sense to add a new, lower-than-low cache priority level (bottom level) for blobs so data blocks are prioritized over them.

Summary:
... so that cache keys can be derived from DB manifest data
before reading the file from storage--so that every part of the file
can potentially go in a persistent cache.
See updated comments in cache_key.cc for technical details. Importantly,
the new cache key encoding uses some fancy but efficient math to pack
data into the cache key without depending on the sizes of the various
pieces. This simplifies some existing code creating cache keys, like
cache warming before the file size is known.
This should provide us an essentially permanent mapping between SST
unique IDs and base cache keys, with the ability to "upgrade" SST
unique IDs (and thus cache keys) with new SST format_versions.
These cache keys are of similar, perhaps indistinguishable quality to
the previous generation. Before this change (see "corrected" days
between collision):
```
./cache_bench -stress_cache_key -sck_keep_bits=43
18 collisions after 2 x 90 days, est 10 days between (1.15292e+19 corrected)
```
After this change (keep 43 bits, up through 50, to validate "trajectory"
is ok on "corrected" days between collision):
```
19 collisions after 3 x 90 days, est 14.2105 days between (1.63836e+19 corrected)
16 collisions after 5 x 90 days, est 28.125 days between (1.6213e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 7 x 90 days, est 42 days between (1.21057e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 17 x 90 days, est 102 days between (1.46997e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 49 x 90 days, est 294 days between (2.11849e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 62 x 90 days, est 372 days between (1.34027e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 53 x 90 days, est 318 days between (5.72858e+18 corrected)
15 collisions after 309 x 90 days, est 1854 days between (1.66994e+19 corrected)
```
However, the change does modify (probably weaken) the "guaranteed unique" promise from this
> SST files generated in a single process are guaranteed to have unique cache keys, unless/until number session ids * max file number = 2**86
to this (see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10388)
> With the DB id limitation, we only have nice guaranteed unique cache keys for files generated in a single process until biggest session_id_counter and offset_in_file reach combined 64 bits
I don't think this is a practical concern, though.

Summary:
To help service owners to manage their memory budget effectively, we have been working towards counting all major memory users inside RocksDB towards a single global memory limit (see e.g. https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Write-Buffer-Manager#cost-memory-used-in-memtable-to-block-cache). The global limit is specified by the capacity of the block-based table's block cache, and is technically implemented by inserting dummy entries ("reservations") into the block cache. The goal of this task is to support charging the memory usage of the new blob cache against this global memory limit when the backing cache of the blob cache and the block cache are different.

Summary:
Many workloads have temporal locality, where recently written items are read back in a short period of time. When using remote file systems, this is inefficient since it involves network traffic and higher latencies. Because of this, we would like to support prepopulating the blob cache during flush.

Summary:
RocksDB supports a two-level cache hierarchy (see https://rocksdb.org/blog/2021/05/27/rocksdb-secondary-cache.html), where items evicted from the primary cache can be spilled over to the secondary cache, or items from the secondary cache can be promoted to the primary one. We have a CacheLib-based non-volatile secondary cache implementation that can be used to improve read latencies and reduce the amount of network bandwidth when using distributed file systems. In addition, we have recently implemented a compressed secondary cache that can be used as a replacement for the OS page cache when e.g. direct I/O is used. The goals of this task are to add support for using a secondary cache with the blob cache and to measure the potential performance gains using `db_bench`.

Summary:
The blob cache enables an optimization on the read path: when a blob is found in the cache, we can avoid copying it into the buffer provided by the application. Instead, we can simply transfer ownership of the cache handle to the target `PinnableSlice`. (Note: this relies on the `Cleanable` interface, which is implemented by `PinnableSlice`.)
This has the potential to save a lot of CPU, especially with large blob values.

Summary:
The `bytes_read` returned by the current BlobSource interface is ambiguous. The uncompressed blob size is returned if the cache hits. The size of the blob read from disk, presumably the compressed version, is returned if the cache misses. Two differing semantics might cause ambiguity and consistency issues. For example, this inconsistency causes the assertion failure (T124246362 and its hot fix is https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10249).
This goal is to require that the value of `byte read` always be an on-disk blob record size.

In this task, we formally introduced the blob source to RocksDB. BlobSource is a new abstraction layer that provides universal access to blobs, regardless of whether they are in the blob cache, secondary cache, or (remote) storage. Depending on user settings, it always fetch blobs from multi-tier cache and storage with minimal cost.
Note: The new `MultiGetBlob()` implementation is not included in the current PR. To go faster, we aim to create a separate PR for it in parallel!
