- 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.

- Removed one copy of an uncompressed block contents changing
  the signature of Snappy_Uncompress() so it uncompresses into a
  flat array instead of a std::string.
        
  Speeds up readrandom ~10%.

- Instead of a combination of Env/WritableFile, we now have a
  Logger interface that can be easily overridden applications
  that want to supply their own logging.

- Separated out the gcc and Sun Studio parts of atomic_pointer.h
  so we can use 'asm', 'volatile' keywords for Sun Studio.

- LevelDB patch for Sun Studio
  Based on a patch submitted by Theo Schlossnagle - thanks!
  This fixes Issue 17.

- Fix a couple of test related memory leaks.

Change atomic_pointer.h to prefer a memory barrier based
implementation over a <cstdatomic> based implementation for
the following reasons:
(1) On a x86-32-bit gcc-4.4 build, <ctdatomic> was corrupting
    the AtomicPointer.
(2) On a x86-64-bit gcc build, a <ctstdatomic> based acquire-load
    takes ~15ns as opposed to the ~1ns for a memory-barrier
    based implementation.

This revision adds two major changes:
1. build_detect_platform which generates build_config.mk
   with platform-dependent flags for the build process
2. /port/atomic_pointer.h with anAtomicPointerimplementation
   for platforms without <cstdatomic>

Some of this code is loosely based on patches submitted to the 
LevelDB mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/leveldb
Tip of the hat to Dave Smith and Edouard A, who both sent patches.

The presence of Snappy (http://code.google.com/p/snappy/) and
cstdatomic are now both detected in the build_detect_platform
script (1.) which gets executing during make.

For (2.), instead of broadly importing atomicops_* from Chromium or
the Google performance tools, we chose to just implement AtomicPointer 
and the limited atomic load and store operations it needs. 
This resulted in much less code and fewer files - everything is 
contained in atomic_pointer.h.
