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.

Summary: Locked version. There are some benchmarks, it seems the lock won't be the bottleneck in the WAL (DB ops causing WAL delta insertions into it will be slower, flushing the WAL be slower).
