Summary: Once a snapshot is successfully written, delete WAL files which are no longer necessary for recovery. Note that this prohibits recovering the WAL from any except the last snapshot.

Summary:
In preparation for distributed storage we need to have labels/properties/edgetypes uniquely identifiable by their ids, which will be global in near future.
The old design has to be abandoned because it's not possible to keep track of global labels/properties/edgetypes while they are local pointers.

Summary:
My dear fellow Memgraphians. It's friday afternoon, and I am as ready to pop as WAL is to get reviewed...
What's done:
- Vertices and Edges have global IDs, stored in `VersionList`. Main storage is now a concurrent map ID->vlist_ptr.
- WriteAheadLog class added. It's based around buffering WAL::Op objects (elementraly DB changes) and periodically serializing and flusing them to disk.
- Snapshot recovery refactored, WAL recovery added. Snapshot format changed again to include necessary info.
- Durability testing completely reworked.
What's not done (and should be when we decide how):
- Old WAL file purging.
- Config refactor (naming and organization). Will do when we discuss what we want.
- Changelog and new feature documentation (both depending on the point above).
- Better error handling and recovery feedback. Currently it's all returning bools, which is not fine-grained enough (neither for errors nor partial successes, also EOF is reported as a failure at the moment).
- Moving the implementation of WAL stuff to .cpp where possible.
- Not sure if there are transactions being created outside of `GraphDbAccessor` and it's `BuildIndex`. Need to look into.
- True write-ahead logic (flag controlled): not committing a DB transaction if the WAL has not flushed it's data. We can discuss the gain/effort ratio for this feature.
