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.
