This removes the use of the non-portable headers <sys/types.h> and <unistd.h> in c_test.c.

When the max file size option was added in CL 134391640 the C API
was not modified to support this.

This change was contributed by GitHub user @olt and fixes issue #439.

Details:
* Fix shared library building.
* Reorganize linking commands so flags like --as-needed can be passed.
* C binding exports version numbers.
* Fix small typos in documention.

Highlights
----------
Mmap at most 1000 files on Posix to improve performance for large databases.
Support for more architectures (thanks to Alexander K.)

Building and porting
--------------------
HP/UX support (issue 126)
AtomicPointer for ia64 (issue 123)
Sparc v9 support (issue 124)
Atomic ops for powerpc
Use -fno-builtin-memcmp only when using g++
Simplify IOS build rules (issue 114)
Use CXXFLAGS instead of CFLAGS when invoking C++ compiler (issue 118)
Fix snappy shared library problem (issue 94)
Fix shared library installation path regression
Endian-ness detection tweak for FreeBSD

Bug fixes
---------
Stop ignoring FLAGS_open_files in db_bench
Make bloom test behavior agnostic to endian-ness

Performance
-----------
Limit number of mmapped files to 1000 to improve perf for large dbs
Do not delay for 1 second on shutdown path (issue 125)

Misc
----
Make InMemoryEnv return a no-op logger
C binding now has a wrapper for free (issue 117)
Add thread-safety annotations
Added an in-process lock table (issue 120)
Make RandomAccessFile and SequentialFile non-copyable

In particular, we add a new FilterPolicy class.  An instance
of this class can be supplied in Options when opening a
database.  If supplied, the instance is used to generate
summaries of keys (e.g., a bloom filter) which are placed in
sstables.  These summaries are consulted by DB::Get() so we
can avoid reading sstable blocks that are guaranteed to not
contain the key we are looking for.

This change provides one implementation of FilterPolicy
based on bloom filters.

Other changes:
- Updated version number to 1.4.
- Some build tweaks.
- C binding for CompactRange.
- A few more benchmarks: deleteseq, deleterandom, readmissing, seekrandom.
- Minor .gitignore update.

- Fix for issue 33 (non-null-terminated result from
  leveldb_property_value())

- Support for running multiple instances of a benchmark in parallel.

- Reduce lock contention on Get():
  (1) Do not hold the lock while searching memtables.
  (2) Shard block and table caches 16-ways.

  Benchmark for evaluating this change:
  $ db_bench --benchmarks=fillseq1,readrandom --threads=$n
  (fillseq1 is a small hack to make sure fillseq runs once regardless
  of number of threads specified on the command line).

- Fix bug in Iterator::Prev where it would return the wrong key.
  Fixes issues 29 and 30.

- Added a tweak to testharness to allow running just some tests.

- Fixing two minor documentation errors based on issues 28 and 25.

- Cleanup; fix namespaces of export-to-C code.
  Also fix one "const char*" vs "char*" mismatch.

- Added a C binding for LevelDB.
  May be useful as a stable ABI that can be used by 
  programs that keep leveldb in a shared library, 
  or for JNI API.

- Replaced SQLite's readseq benchmark to a more efficient version. 
  SQLite readseq speeds increased by about a factor of 2x 
  from the previous version. Also updated benchmark page to
  reflect readseq speed up.
