> This change updates the file module so that it can do
> asynchronous writes. Basically it replies immediately
> to process asking to write something to the file, with
> the position where the chunks will be written to the
> file, while a dedicated child process keeps collecting
> chunks and write them to the file (and batching them
> when possible). After issuing a series of write request
> to the file module, the caller can call its 'flush'
> function which will block the caller until all the
> chunks it requested to write are effectively written
> to the file.
> This maximizes the IO subsystem, as for example, while
> the updater is traversing and modifying the btrees and
> doing CPU bound tasks, the writes are happening in
> parallel.
