The "GIT_TEST_FSYNC" environment variable now exists for
disabling fsync() even on packfiles and other "critical" data.
Running "make test -j8 NO_SVN_TESTS=1" on a noisy 8-core system
on an HDD, test runtime drops from ~4 minutes down to ~3 minutes.
Using "GIT_TEST_FSYNC=1" re-enables fsync() for comparison
purposes.
SVN interopability tests are minimally affected since SVN will
still use fsync in various places.
This will also be useful for 3rd-party tools which create
throwaway git repositories of temporary data, but remains
undocumented for end users.

This adds three new functions to pkt-line.c: packet_fwrite,
packet_fwrite_fmt and packet_fflush. Besides writing a pktline flush
packet, packet_fflush also flushes the stdio buffer of the stream.

Some platforms, like NonStop do not automatically restart fsync()
when interrupted by a signal, even when that signal is setup with
SA_RESTART.
This can lead to test breakage, e.g., where "--progress" is used,
thus SIGALRM is sent often, and can interrupt an fsync() syscall.
Make sure we deal with such a case by retrying the syscall
ourselves. Luckily, we call fsync() fron a single wrapper,
fsync_or_die(), so the fix is fairly isolated.

This is more consistent with the project style. The majority of Git's
source files use dashes in preference to underscores in their file names.
