Peter Dillinger d010b02e86 Fix race in options taking effect (#11929)
Summary:
In follow-up to https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/11922, fix a race in functions like CreateColumnFamily and SetDBOptions where the DB reports one option setting but a different one is left in effect.

To fix, we can add an extra mutex around these rare operations. We don't want to hold the DB mutex during I/O or other slow things because of the many purposes it serves, but a mutex more limited to these cases should be fine.

I believe this would fix a write-write race in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10079 but not the read-write race.

Intended follow-up to this:
* Should be able to remove write thread synchronization from DBImpl::WriteOptionsFile

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/11929

Test Plan:
Added two mini-stress style regression tests that fail with >1% probability before this change:
DBOptionsTest::SetStatsDumpPeriodSecRace
ColumnFamilyTest::CreateAndDropPeriodicRace

I haven't reproduced such an inconsistency between in-memory options and on disk latest options, but this change at least improves safety and adds a test anyway:
DBOptionsTest::SetStatsDumpPeriodSecRace
