Summary:
When `max_valid_backups_to_open` is set, the `BackupEngine` doesn't know about the files referenced by existing backups. This PR prevents us from deleting valid files when that option is set, in cases where we are unable to accurately determine refcount. There are warnings logged when we may miss deleting unreferenced files, and a recommendation in the header for users to periodically unset this option and run a full `GarbageCollect`.

## RocksDB dump format

The version 1 RocksDB dump format is fairly simple:

1) The dump starts with the magic 8 byte identifier "ROCKDUMP"

2) The magic is followed by an 8 byte big-endian version which is 0x00000001.

3) Next are arbitrarily sized chunks of bytes prepended by 4 byte little endian number indicating how large each chunk is.

4) The first chunk is special and is a json string indicating some things about the creation of this dump.  It contains the following keys:
* database-path: The path of the database this dump was created from.
* hostname: The hostname of the machine where the dump was created.
* creation-time: Unix seconds since epoc when this dump was created.

5) Following the info dump the slices paired into are key/value pairs.
