Peter Dillinger dd23e84cad Re-implement GetApproximateMemTableStats for skip lists (#13047)
Summary:
GetApproximateMemTableStats() could return some bad results with the standard skip list memtable. See this new db_bench test showing the dismal distribution of results when the actual number of entries in range is 1000:

```

```

Perhaps the only good thing to say about the old implementation was that it was fast, though apparently not that fast.

I've implemented a much more robust and reasonably fast new version of the function. It's still logarithmic but with some larger constant factors. The standard deviation from true count is around 20% or less, and roughly the CPU cost of two memtable point look-ups. See code comments for detail.

```

```

We can already see that the distribution of results is dramatically better and wonderfully normal-looking, with relative standard deviation around 20%. The function is also FASTER, at least with these parameters. Let's look how this behavior generalizes, first *much* larger range:

```
$ ./db_bench --benchmarks=filluniquerandom,approximatememtablestats,readrandom --value_size=1 --num=1000000 --batch_size=30000
filluniquerandom :       1.390 micros/op 719654 ops/sec 1.376 seconds 990000 operations;   11.7 MB/s
approximatememtablestats :       1.129 micros/op 885649 ops/sec 1.129 seconds 1000000 operations;
Reported entry count stats (expected 30000):
Count: 1000000 Average: 31098.8795  StdDev: 3601.47
Min: 21504  Median: 29333.9303  Max: 43008
Percentiles: P50: 29333.93 P75: 33018.00 P99: 43008.00 P99.9: 43008.00 P99.99: 43008.00

(   33000,   50000 ]   250265  25.027% 100.000% #####

readrandom   :       1.894 micros/op 528083 ops/sec 1.894 seconds 1000000 operations;    8.5 MB/s (989989 of 1000000 found)
```

This is *even faster* and relatively *more accurate*, with relative standard deviation closer to 10%. Code comments explain why. Now let's look at smaller ranges. Implementation quirks or conveniences:
* When actual number in range is >= 40, the minimum return value is 40.
* When the actual is <= 10, it is guaranteed to return that actual number.

Remarkably consistent.
