Andrew Kryczka 03c4ea26bb db_stress option to preserve all files until verification success (#10659)
Summary:
In `db_stress`, DB and expected state files containing changes leading up to a verification failure are often deleted, which makes debugging such failures difficult. On the DB side, flushed WAL files and compacted SST files are marked obsolete and then deleted. Without those files, we cannot pinpoint where a key that failed verification changed unexpectedly. On the expected state side, files for verifying prefix-recoverability in the presence of unsynced data loss are deleted before verification. These include a baseline state file containing the expected state at the time of the last successful verification, and a trace file containing all operations since then. Without those files, we cannot know the sequence of DB operations expected to be recovered.

This PR attempts to address this gap with a new `db_stress` flag: `preserve_unverified_changes`. Setting `preserve_unverified_changes=1` has two effects.

First, prior to startup verification, `db_stress` hardlinks all DB and expected state files in "unverified/" subdirectories of `FLAGS_db` and `FLAGS_expected_values_dir`. The separate directories are needed because the pre-verification opening process deletes files written by the previous `db_stress` run as described above. These "unverified/" subdirectories are cleaned up following startup verification success.

I considered other approaches for preserving DB files through startup verification, like using a read-only DB or preventing deletion of DB files externally, e.g., in the `Env` layer. However, I decided against it since such an approach would not work for expected state files, and I did not want to change the DB management logic. If there were a way to disable DB file deletions before regular DB open, I would have preferred to use that.

Second, `db_stress` attempts to keep all DB and expected state files that were live at some point since the start of the `db_stress` run. This is a bit tricky and involves the following changes.

- Open the DB with `disable_auto_compactions=1` and `avoid_flush_during_recovery=1`
- DisableFileDeletions()
- EnableAutoCompactions()

For this part, too, I would have preferred to use a hypothetical API that disables DB file deletion before regular DB open.
