* [PATCH 1/4] Add unbuffered IO API

Wrap unbuffered extends and writes in a new API, directmgr.

When writing data outside of shared buffers, the backend must do a
series of steps to ensure the data is both durable and recoverable.

When writing or extending a page of data for a WAL-logged table fork,
the backend must log, checksum (if page is not empty), and write out the
page before moving on.

Additionally, the backend must fsync the page data to ensure it reaches
permanent storage since checkpointer is unaware of the buffer and could
move the Redo pointer past the associated WAL for this write/extend
before it fsyncs the data.

This API is also used for non-WAL-logged and non-self-fsync'd table
forks but with the appropriate exceptions to the above steps.

This commit introduces no functional change. It replaces all current
callers of smgrimmedsync(), smgrextend(), and smgrwrite() with the
equivalent directmgr functions. Consolidating these steps makes IO
outside of shared buffers less error-prone.
