Zach Brown 2083793ae0 Add first pass at segment compaction
This is the first draft of compaction which has the core mechanics.

Add segment functions to free a segment's segno and to delete the entry
that refers to the given segment.

Add manifest functions that lock the manifest and dirty and delete
manifest entries.  These are used by the compaction thread to atomically
modify the manfiest with the result of a compaction.

Sort the level 0 entries in the manifest by their sequence.  This lets
compaction use the first oldest entry and reading can walk them
backwards to get them in order and not have to sort.  We also more
carefully use the sequence field in the manifest search key to
differentiate between finding high level entries that overlap and
finding specific entries identified by their seq.

Add some fields to the per-super compact_info struct which support
compaction.  We need to know the limit on the number of segments per
level and we record keys per level which tell us which segment to use
next time that level is compacted.

We kick a compaction thread when we add a manifest entry and that brings
the level count over the limit.

scoutfs_manifest_next_compact() is the first meaty function.  The
compaction thread uses this to get all the segments involved in a
compaction.  It does a quick manifest update if the next manifest
candidate doesn't overlap with any sgements in the next level.

The compaction operation itself is a pretty straight forward
read-modify-write operation.  It asks the manifest to give it references
to the segments it'll need, reads them in, iterates over them to count
and copies items in order to output segments, and atomically updates the
manifest.

Now that the manifest can be dirty without any dirty segments we need to
fix the transaction writing function's assumption that everything flows
from dirty segments.  It also has to now lock and unlock the manifest as
it adds the entry for its level 0 segment.
