Avi Kivity 4082f57edc Merge 'Make commitlog disk limit a hard limit.' from Calle Wilund
Refs #6148

Commitlog disk limit was previously a "soft" limit, in that we allowed allocating new segments, even if we were over
disk usage max. This would also cause us sometimes to create new segments and delete old ones, if badly timed in
needing and releasing segments, in turn causing useless disk IO for pre-allocation/zeroing.

This patch set does:
* Make limit a hard limit. If we have disk usage > max, we wait for delete or recycle.
* Make flush threshold configurable. Default is ask for flush when over 50% usage. (We do not wait for results)
* Make flush "partial". We flush X% of the used space (used - thres/2), and make the rp limit accordingly. This means we will try to clear the N oldest segments, not all. I.e. "lighter" flush. Of course, if the CL is wholly dominated by a single CF, this will not really help much. But when > 1 cf is used, it means we can skip those not having unflushed data < req rp.
* Force more eager flush/recycle if we're out of segments

Note: flush threshold is not exposed in scylla config (yet). Because I am unsure of wording, and even if it should.
Note: testing is sparse, esp. in regard to latency/timeouts added in high usage scenarios. While I can fairly easily provoke "stalls" (i.e. forced waiting for segments to free up) with simple C-S, it is hard to say exactly where in a more sane config (I set my limits looow) latencies will start accumulating.

Closes #7879

* github.com:scylladb/scylla:
  commitlog: Force earlier cycle/flush iff segment reserve is empty
  commitlog: Make segment allocation wait iff disk usage > max
  commitlog: Do partial (memtable) flushing based on threshold
  commitlog: Make flush threshold configurable
  table: Add a flush RP mark to table, and shortcut if not above
