Support direct I/O on macOS.
Macs don't understand O_DIRECT, but they can disable caching with a
separate fcntl() call. Extend the file opening functions in fd.c to
handle this for us if the caller passes in PG_O_DIRECT.
For now, this affects only WAL data and even then only if you set:
max_wal_senders=0
wal_level=minimal
This is not expected to be very useful on its own, but later proposed
patches will make greater use of direct I/O, and it'll be useful for
testing if developers on Macs can see the effects.
