Peter Dillinger 1c490a4a4d Fix "ancester" spelling; deprecate TablePropertiesNames (#15335)
Summary:
Follow-up to https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/15304, which renamed `TableProperties::creation_time` to `oldest_ancestor_time` but left the long-standing "ancester" misspelling everywhere else, so the same concept was spelled two ways (e.g. `TableProperties::oldest_ancestor_time` vs. `FileMetaData::oldest_ancester_time` and `SstFileMetaData::oldest_ancester_time`). This change makes the spelling consistent and addresses remaining review feedback on https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/15304.

Change:
* All internal identifiers and comments now use "ancestor": `FileMetaData::oldest_ancestor_time`, `CompactionServiceOutputFile::oldest_ancestor_time`, `kUnknownOldestAncestorTime`, `TryGetOldestAncestorTime()`, `Compaction::MinInputFileOldestAncestorTime()`, the `kOldestAncestorTime` manifest tag enum, and related locals and test sync point names.
* Public API: `SstFileMetaData::oldest_ancestor_time` is the new name; `oldest_ancester_time` remains as a deprecated alias sharing storage via an anonymous union (same approach as `TableProperties::creation_time`, so size, layout, and copy semantics are unchanged).
* Public API: `TablePropertiesNames::kOldestAncestorTime` is the new name; `kCreationTime` remains as a deprecated `static const std::string&` alias. A static reference member has no per-object cost and binds at constant initialization, so it adds no static-init-order exposure.
* `TablePropertiesNames` as a whole is marked DEPRECATED for public use. An fbsource-wide BigGrep found no references outside RocksDB and its vendored copies, and it is only meaningful to table format internals; users should read the corresponding `TableProperties` fields.

Fix:
* The `table_file_creation` event log entry had the `oldest_key_time` and `newest_key_time` values swapped since https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/13083 (v10.0). Now each label is paired with its own value.

Also: tools/c_api_gen/auto_simple_bindings.py resets the pending anonymous union field list after use and skips unnamed members inside the union (review suggestion); generated C API output is unchanged.

Compatibility: names that are persisted or externally parsed intentionally keep the old spelling: the on-disk property name `rocksdb.creation.time`, the `"oldest_ancester_time"` key in remote compaction serialization, and the `oldest_ancester_time` / `OldestAncesterTime` labels in `VersionEdit` DebugString/DebugJSON (ldb manifest_dump output). The manifest tag value is unchanged. HISTORY.md is left as historical record.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/15335

Test Plan: DBTablePropertiesTest.CreationTimeAliasesOldestAncestorTime now also verifies `TablePropertiesNames::kCreationTime` and `kOldestAncestorTime` refer to the same object, and new DBTablePropertiesTest.SstFileMetaDataOldestAncesterTimeAlias verifies the two `SstFileMetaData` names share an address and that writes through the old name are visible through the new one. Remote compaction serialization through the unchanged `"oldest_ancester_time"` key is covered by compaction_service_test; manifest encode/decode through the renamed field by version_edit_test. `make check-c-api-gen` confirms the generated C API is up to date and backward compatible.
