Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files

As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.

[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing.  Hell really _has_ frozen
    over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.
    EVERYBODY PANIC!
