Andrew Kryczka 8272a6de57 Optionally wait on bytes_per_sync to smooth I/O (#5183)
Summary:
The existing implementation does not guarantee bytes reach disk every `bytes_per_sync` when writing SST files, or every `wal_bytes_per_sync` when writing WALs. This can cause confusing behavior for users who enable this feature to avoid large syncs during flush and compaction, but then end up hitting them anyways.

My understanding of the existing behavior is we used `sync_file_range` with `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE` to submit ranges for async writeback, such that we could continue processing the next range of bytes while that I/O is happening. I believe we can preserve that benefit while also limiting how far the processing can get ahead of the I/O, which prevents huge syncs from happening when the file finishes.

Consider this `sync_file_range` usage: `sync_file_range(fd_, 0, static_cast<off_t>(offset + nbytes), SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE)`. Expanding the range to start at 0 and adding the `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE` flag causes any pending writeback (like from a previous call to `sync_file_range`) to finish before it proceeds to submit the latest `nbytes` for writeback. The latest `nbytes` are still written back asynchronously, unless processing exceeds I/O speed, in which case the following `sync_file_range` will need to wait on it.

There is a second change in this PR to use `fdatasync` when `sync_file_range` is unavailable (determined statically) or has some known problem with the underlying filesystem (determined dynamically).

The above two changes only apply when the user enables a new option, `strict_bytes_per_sync`.
