Fix C API
DeleteFile should schedule Flush or Compaction

Summary:
More info here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/89
If flush fails because of ENOSPC, we have a deadlock problem. This is a quick fix that will continue the normal operation when user deletes the file and frees up the space on the device.

We need to address the issue more broadly with bg_error_ cleanup.

Test Plan: make check

Schedule flush when waiting on flush

Summary:
This will also help with avoiding the deadlock. If a flush failed and we're waiting for a memtable to be flushed, we should schedule a new flush and hope a new one succeedes.

If paranoid_checks = false, Wait() will still hang on ENOSPC, but at least it will automatically continue when the space frees up. Current behavior both hangs and deadlocks.

Also, I renamed some 'compaction' to 'flush'. 'compaction' was leveldb way of saying things.
