Pre-allocates N segments from timer task. N is "adaptive" in that it is
increased (to a max) every time segement acquisition is forced to allocate
a new instead of picking from pre-alloc (reserve) list. The idea is that it is
easier to adapt how many segments we consume per timer quanta than the timer
quanta itself.
Also does disk pressure check and flush from timer task now. Note that the
check is still only done max once every new segment.
Some logging cleanup/betterment also to make behaviour easier to trace.
Reserve segments start out at zero length, and are still deleted when finished.
This is because otherwise we'd still have to clear the file to be able to
properly parse it later (given that is can be a "half" file due to power fail
etc). This might need revisiting as well.
With this patch, there should be no case (except flush starvation) where
"add_mutation" actually waits for a (potentially) blocking op (disk).
Note that since the amount of reserve is increased as needed, there will
be occasional cases where a new segment is created in the alloc path
until the system finds equilebrium. But this should only be during a breif
warmup.
Patch "Fix some timing/latency issues with sync" changed new_segment to
_not_ wait for flush to finish. This means that checking actual files on
disk in the test case might race.
Lucklily, we can more or less just check the segment list instead
(added recently-ish)

Commit of original series was done on stale version (v2) due to authors
inability to multitask and update git repos.
v3:
* Removed future<> return value from callbacks. I.e. flush callback is now
only fully syncronous over actual call
* Do not throw away commitlog segments on disk size overflow.
Issue a flush request (i.e. calculate RP we want to free unto,
and for all dirty CF:s, do a request).
"Abstracted" as registerable callback. I.e. DB:s responsibility
to actually do something with it.
* Fixes#247
* Re-introduce test_allocation_failure, but allow for the "failure" to not
happen. I.e. if run with low memory settings, the test will check that
allocation failure is graceful. With lots of memory it will check partial
write.
Origin
* Note: removed commitlog_test:test_allocation_failure because with
segments limited to 4GB -> mutation limited to 2GB, actually forcing
a fail is not guaranteed or even likely.
