Summary:
Directory fsync might be expensive on btrfs and it may not be needed.
Here are 4 directory fsync cases:
1. creating a new file: dir-fsync is not needed on btrfs, as long as the
new file itself is synced.
2. renaming a file: dir-fsync is not needed if the renamed file is
synced. So an API `FsyncAfterFileRename(filename, ...)` is provided
to sync the file on btrfs. By default, it just calls dir-fsync.
3. deleting files: dir-fsync is forced by set
`IOOptions.force_dir_fsync = true`
4. renaming multiple files (like backup and checkpoint): dir-fsync is
forced, the same as above.
