Peter Dillinger fc9d4071f0 Fast path for detecting unchanged prefix_extractor (#9407)
Summary:
Fixes a major performance regression in 6.26, where
extra CPU is spent in SliceTransform::AsString when reads involve
a prefix_extractor (Get, MultiGet, Seek). Common case performance
is now better than 6.25.

This change creates a "fast path" for verifying that the current prefix
extractor is unchanged and compatible with what was used to
generate a table file. This fast path detects the common case by
pointer comparison on the current prefix_extractor and a "known
good" prefix extractor (if applicable) that is saved at the time the
table reader is opened. The "known good" prefix extractor is saved
as another shared_ptr copy (in an existing field, however) to ensure
the pointer is not recycled.

When the prefix_extractor has changed to a different instance but
same compatible configuration (rare, odd), performance is still a
regression compared to 6.25, but this is likely acceptable because
of the oddity of such a case. The performance of incompatible
prefix_extractor is essentially unchanged.

Also fixed a minor case (ForwardIterator) where a prefix_extractor
could be used via a raw pointer after being freed as a shared_ptr,
if replaced via SetOptions.

Test Plan:
## Performance
Populate DB with `TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/rocksdb ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=10000000 -disable_wal=1 -write_buffer_size=10000000 -bloom_bits=16 -compaction_style=2 -fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=10000 -fifo_compaction_allow_compaction=0 -prefix_size=12`

Running head-to-head comparisons simultaneously with `TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/rocksdb ./db_bench -use_existing_db -readonly -benchmarks=seekrandom -num=10000000 -duration=20 -disable_wal=1 -bloom_bits=16 -compaction_style=2 -fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=10000 -fifo_compaction_allow_compaction=0 -prefix_size=12`

Below each is compared by ops/sec vs. baseline which is version 6.25 (multiple baseline runs because of variable machine load)

v6.26: 4833 vs. 6698 (<- major regression!)
v6.27: 4737 vs. 6397 (still)
New: 6704 vs. 6461 (better than baseline in common case)
Disabled fastpath: 4843 vs. 6389 (e.g. if prefix extractor instance changes but is still compatible)
Changed prefix size (no usable filter) in new: 787 vs. 5927
Changed prefix size (no usable filter) in new & baseline: 773 vs. 784
