journal: coalesce ftruncate()s in 250ms windows
Prior to this change every journal append causes an ftruncate() for the
sake of inotify propagation of the mmap-based writes.
With this change the notification is deferred up to ~250ms, coalescing
any repeated journal writes during the deferred period into a single
ftruncate(). The ftruncate() call isn't free and doing it on every
append adds unnecessary overhead and latency in the journald event loop.
Introduces journal_file_enable_post_change_timer() which manages a
timer on the provided sd-event instance for scheduling coalesced
ftruncates. The ftruncate() behavior is unchanged unless
journal_file_enable_post_change_timer() is called on the JournalFile.
While not a tremendous improvement, profiling systemd-journald event loop
latencies using instrumentation as introduced by 34b8751 it was observed that
coalescing the ftruncates was low-hanging fruit worth pursuing.
Note orders 12 and 13 shifting left into order 11 and order 6 dipping into
order 5:

The remaining high-order delays are a result of the synchronous fsyncs in
systemd-journald, beyond the scope of this commit.
