should fix the recent reports of "index is not a btree" failures,
as well as preventing a more obscure race condition involving changes
to a template database just after copying it with CREATE DATABASE.

4afab9639a Alter the signature for encoding conversion functions to declare the
output area as INTERNAL not CSTRING.  This is to prevent people from
calling the functions by hand.  This is a permanent solution for the
back branches but I hope it is just a stopgap for HEAD.

291cd954fb Change Win32 O_SYNC method to O_DSYNC because that is what the method
currently does.  This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because
we perfer o_datasync to fsync.

Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called
fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is
what is used for fsync on Win32.

Backpatch to 8.0.X.

4e8af8d273 Replace ARC cache management algorithm with the similar but slightly
simpler 2Q algorithm, to avoid possible problems with the pending patent
on ARC.  Testing so far suggests that there is little if any performance
loss from doing this.

Note that this patch is going into the 8.0 branch only; a much more
extensive revision is planned for HEAD.
