Thread-based WAL writer: a piecewise port.

This patch introduces wal_mode configuration variable,
which can take either "fsync" or "fsync_delay" values.

In "fsync" mode, we open the write ahead log in O_SYNC
mode, and thus sync every write to disk.

Th fsync_delay mode is the backward-compatible mode:
in this mode, we only do fsync once every fsync_delay
seconds. If fsync_delay is 0, there is no fsync.

Otherwise, this patch is only adding auxiliary headers,
object files, etc.
