Starting with 4d330a61bb we can use posix_fallocate() to extend
files. Unfortunately in some situation, e.g. on tmpfs filesystems, EINTR may
be returned. See also 4518c798b2.
To fix, add a retry path to FileFallocate(). In contrast to 4518c798b2 the
amount we extend by is limited and the extending may happen at a high
frequency, so disabling signals does not appear to be the correct path here.
Also add retry paths to other file operations currently lacking them (around
fdatasync(), fsync(), ftruncate(), posix_fadvise(), sync_file_range(),
truncate()) - they are all documented or have been observed to return EINTR.
Even though most of these functions used in the back branches, it does not
seem worth the risk to backpatch - outside of the new-to-16 case of
posix_fallocate() I am not aware of problem reports due to the lack of
retries.
