FileState::Read (used by InMemoryEnv) creates a new Slice when reading.
If all the bytes for the read are in the first block then the Slice
points to the private block data in FileState and is not copied to the
|scratch| buffer.

A recent change allows files in InMemEnv to be overwritten which deletes
these blocks and in this case can result in a Slice having a dangling
pointer. This change fixes this bug by always copying to the |scratch|
buffer.

Env's (like the POSIX Env) which use an actual filesystem behave
differently than InMemoryEnv with regards to writing data to a currently
open file.

InMemoryEnv::NewWritableFile would previously delete that file,
if it was open, before creating a new file so any previously
open file would be unlinked. This change truncates an open file
so that subsequent reads will read that new data.

This should have no impact on leveldb as it never has the same
file open for both read and write access. This change is only
being made for tests (specifically a future change to corruption_test)
to allow them to be decoupled from the underlying platform and
allow them to use an Env.

helpers/memenv/memenv.cc used SIZE_MAX without including <stdint.h>.
Since we're fixing this problem, replace SIZE_MAX with
std::numeric_limits<size_t>::max(), which is clearer.

This CL makes it easier to reason about thread safety by:

1) Adding Clang thread safety annotations according to comments.
2) Expanding a couple of variable names, without adding extra lines of code.
3) Adding const in a couple of places.
4) Replacing an always-non-null const pointer with a reference.
5) Fixing style warnings in the modified files.

This CL does not annotate the DBImpl members that claim to be protected
by the instance mutex, but are accessed without the mutex being held.
Those members (and their unprotected accesses) will be addressed in
future CLs.

(Based on a suggestion by cmumford.)

"open" benchmark on my workstation speeds up significantly since we
can now avoid three fdatasync calls and a compaction per open:

  Before: ~80000 microseconds
  After:    ~130 microseconds

Details:

(1) Added Options::reuse_logs (currently defaults to false) to control
new behavior.  The intention is to change the default to true after some
baking.

(2) Added Env::NewAppendableFile() whose default implementation returns
a not-supported error.

(3) VersionSet::Recovery attempts to reuse the MANIFEST from which
it is recovering.

(4) DBImpl recovery attempts to reuse the last log file and memtable.

(5) db_test.cc now tests a new configuration that sets reuse_logs to true.

(6) fault_injection_test also tests a reuse_logs==true config.

(7) Added a new recovery_test.

Changes are:

* Update version number to 1.18
* Replace the basic fprintf call with a call to fwrite in order to
  work around the apparent compiler optimization/rewrite failure that we are
  seeing with the new toolchain/iOS SDKs provided with Xcode6 and iOS8.
* Fix ALL the header guards.
* Createed a README.md with the LevelDB project description.
* A new CONTRIBUTING file.
* Don't implicitly convert uint64_t to size_t or int.  Either preserve it as
  uint64_t, or explicitly cast. This fixes MSVC warnings about possible value
  truncation when compiling this code in Chromium.
* Added a DumpFile() library function that encapsulates the guts of the
  "leveldbutil dump" command. This will allow clients to dump
  data to their log files instead of stdout. It will also allow clients to
  supply their own environment.
* leveldb: Remove unused function 'ConsumeChar'.
* leveldbutil: Remove unused member variables from WriteBatchItemPrinter.
* OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonflyBSD have _LITTLE_ENDIAN, so define
  PLATFORM_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN like on FreeBSD. This fixes:
   * issue #143
   * issue #198
   * issue #249
* Switch from <cstdatomic> to <atomic>. The former never made it into the
  standard and doesn't exist in modern gcc versions at all.  The later contains
  everything that leveldb was using from the former.
  This problem was noticed when porting to Portable Native Client where no memory
  barrier is defined.  The fact that <cstdatomic> is missing normally goes
  unnoticed since memory barriers are defined for most architectures.
* Make Hash() treat its input as unsigned.  Before this change LevelDB files
  from platforms with different signedness of char were not compatible. This
  change fixes: issue #243
* Verify checksums of index/meta/filter blocks when paranoid_checks set.
* Invoke all tools for iOS with xcrun. (This was causing problems with the new
  XCode 5.1.1 image on pulse.)
* include <sys/stat.h> only once, and fix the following linter warning:
  "Found C system header after C++ system header"
* When encountering a corrupted table file, return Status::Corruption instead of
  Status::InvalidArgument.
* Support cygwin as build platform, patch is from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=188
* Fix typo, merge patch from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=159
* Fix typos and comments, and address the following two issues:
  * issue #166
  * issue #241
* Add missing db synchronize after "fillseq" in the benchmark.
* Removed unused variable in SeekRandom: value (issue #201)

Make RandomAccessFile and SequentialFile non-copyable

- Replace raw slice comparison with a call to user comparator.
  Added test for custom comparators.

- Fix end of namespace comments.

- Fixed bug in picking inputs for a level-0 compaction.

  When finding overlapping files, the covered range may expand
  as files are added to the input set.  We now correctly expand
  the range when this happens instead of continuing to use the
  old range.  For example, suppose L0 contains files with the
  following ranges:

      F1: a .. d
      F2:    c .. g
      F3:       f .. j

  and the initial compaction target is F3.  We used to search
  for range f..j which yielded {F2,F3}.  However we now expand
  the range as soon as another file is added.  In this case,
  when F2 is added, we expand the range to c..j and restart the
  search.  That picks up file F1 as well.

  This change fixes a bug related to deleted keys showing up
  incorrectly after a compaction as described in Issue 44.

(Sync with upstream @25072954)

Adding GNU/kFreeBSD support. As requested here:
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=38

Use uint64_t instead of size_t in MemEnvTest. As pointed out at
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=41

Fix GCC -Wshadow warnings in LevelDB's public header files,
reported by Dustin.
