Summary: The new API in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/13453 is awkward and precarious because of using RangePtr, which encodes optional keys using raw pointers to Slice. We could use `std::optional<Slice>` instead but that is unsatisfyingly a larger object with an inefficient size (typically 17 bytes). Here I introduce a custom optional Slice type, `OptSlice`, that is the same size as a Slice, and use it in a number of places to clean up code and make some public APIs easier to work with. This includes * `atomic_replace_range` (not yet released, OK to change) * `GetAllKeyVersions()` which gets a behavior change because of its unusual handling of empty keys. * `DeleteFilesInRanges()` * TODO in follow-up: `CompactRange()` Most of the diff is associated updates and refactorings. Also * Move some relevant things out of db.h to keep it as tidy as possible.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

See the github wiki for more explanation.
The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.
