Log message:
    Added GUC variable bgwriter_flush_method controlling the action
    done by the background writer between writing dirty blocks and
    napping.

    none (default)   no action
    sync             bgwriter calls smgrsync() causing a sync(2)

    A global sync() is only good on dedicated database servers, so
    more flush methods should be added in the future.
