Summary:
Previously the shutdown process did not properly wait for all
`compaction_thread_limiter` tokens to be released before proceeding to
delete the DB's C++ objects. When this happened, we saw tests like
"DBCompactionTest.CompactionLimiter" flake with the following error:
```
virtual
rocksdb::ConcurrentTaskLimiterImpl::~ConcurrentTaskLimiterImpl():
Assertion `outstanding_tasks_ == 0' failed.
```
There is a case where a token can still be alive even after the shutdown
process has waited for BG work to complete. In particular, this happens
because the shutdown process only waits for flush/compaction scheduled/unscheduled counters to all
reach zero. These counters are decremented in `BackgroundCallCompaction()`
functions. However, tokens are released in `BGWork*Compaction()` functions, which
actually wrap the `BackgroundCallCompaction()` function.
A simple sleep could repro the race condition:

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.
Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/master/examples
See the github wiki for more explanation.
The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or

internal APIs may be changed without warning.
Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/ and https://rocksdb.slack.com/
