The first two commits of the series are pretty close to being ready. I'd
welcome review of those, and I plan to commit them independently of the
rest as they're beneficial independently. The most important bits are
the comments and docs of 0002 - they weren't particularly good
beforehand, so I had to rewrite a fair bit.
0001: Make SetHintBit() a bit more aggressive, afaics that fixes all the
potential regressions of 0002
0002: Fix the overaggressive flushing by the wal writer, by only
flushing every wal_writer_delay ms or wal_writer_flush_after
bytes.
