+ *  NOTE IMPLEMENTING THIS FUNCTION IS EXTRA CREDIT

+ *  compress_db
+ *      fd:     linux file descriptor
+ * 
+ *  This assignment takes advantage of the way Linux handles sparse files
+ *  on disk. Thus if there is a large hole between student records, Linux
+ *  will not use any physical storage.  However, when a database record is
+ *  deleted storage is used to write a blank - see EMPTY_STUDENT_RECORD from
+ *  db.h - record.  
+ * 
+ *  Since Linux provides no way to delete data in the middle of a file, and
+ *  deleted records take up physical storage, this function will compress the
+ *  database by rewriting a new database file that only includes valid student
+ *  records. There are a number of ways to do this, but since this is extra credit
+ *  you need to figure this out on your own. 
+ * 
+ *  At a high level create a temporary database file then copy all valid students from
+ *  the active database (passed in via fd) to the temporary file. When this is done
+ *  rename the temporary database file to the name of the real database file. See
+ *  the constants in db.h for required file names:
+ *
+ *         #define DB_FILE     "student.db"        //name of database file
+ *         #define TMP_DB_FILE ".tmp_student.db"   //for extra credit 
+ * 
+ *  Note that you are passed in the fd of the database file to be compressed, 
+ *  it is very likely you will need to close it to overwrite it with the
+ *  compressed version of the file.  To ensure the caller can work with the
+ *  compressed file after you create it, it is a good design to return the fd
+ *  of the new compressed file from this function
+ * 
+ *  returns:  <number>       returns the fd of the compressed database file
