RocksDB atomic flush

RocksDB atomic flush installs the results of flushing selected column families into the database as one logical all-or-nothing MANIFEST group.

Automatic atomic flush covers all column families; a manual call must identify the participating families. [2] It does not make every earlier acknowledgment durable or include later writes automatically; the pinned options header warns that subsequent WAL-enabled writes can replay independently. [1]
