This function introduces a new xlog method xlog_fallocate() that makes
sure that the requested amount of disk space is available at the current
write position. It does that with posix_fallocate(). The new method is
called before writing anything to WAL, see wal_fallocate(). In order not
to invoke the system call too often, wal_fallocate() allocates disk
space in big chunks (1 MB).

The reason why I'm doing this is that I want to have a single and
clearly defined point in the code to handle ENOSPC errors, where
I could delete old WALs and retry (this is what #3397 is about).
