Use NtFlushBuffersFileEx(FLUSH_FLAGS_FILE_DATA_SYNC_ONLY) , the Windows "fdatasync"

Found during recent benchmarking

On relatively weak SSD, with usual (on Windows), non-buffered IO, I noticed that from 20-60MB/s writes on the disk during the benchmark, about 7MB/s goes into file D:\$Log (NTFS).

Apparently, file metadata changes are stored there, such as file update times.

Using NtFlushBuffersFileEx with FLUSH_FLAGS_FILE_DATA_SYNC_ONLY improves performance significantly (from 11K-13K qps to 15K-16K qps), and D:\$Log writes are now gone.

I conclude we should switch to using this function on Windows.
