I wasn't too excited about this, but on investigation, psql *does*
fflush() the \o file after each ordinary SQL command; it's only
backslash command output that doesn't necessarily reach the file
immediately. This is inconsistent ... if we're going to do it for
regular commands seems like we should do it for backslash commands
too.
