* Revert some changes from prior PR https://github.com/status-im/nim-rocksdb/pull/48 which enable memory leak of options when not cleaned up manually.
* Clean up, add more tests and use correct free function for listColumnFamilies.
* Close opt types when opening database fails.
* Add autoClose flag to each opt type.
* Finish autoClose changes to prevent memory leaks.
* Refactor API to pass in column family handle instead of string.
* Check for unknown column family in getColFamilyHandle and update tests.
* Update column family function names. Remove redundant exists check.
Several options were mistakenly classified as db options when in fact
they are column family options - the C interface does not make this
distinction and instead puts them all under one umbrella.
This PR updates options to use nim setter/getter properties allowing
both read and write of most options - lots of options are exposed both
for reading and writing, but hey, one could always add _even more_ of
them - there's certainly no lack!
