Context for reviewers: The mechanism part of this patch is equivalent to [1] and [2]. With the following changes:

* The configuration code is a bit different and we now expose a
  `writeout-only` mode to the user. This mode is the default on macOS
  to prevent a change in end-user behavior.

* git_fsync now contains the EINTR retry loop internally.
