Merge branch 'omfile' into v5-devel

Note that this was NOT a trivial merge, and there may be
some issues. This needs to be seen when we continue developing.

+this is unacceptable, set $OMFileFlushOnTXEnd to on. Then, data is written at the end
+of each transaction (for pre-v5 this means after <b>each</b> log message) and the usual
+error recovery thus can handle write errors without data loss. Note that this option
+severely reduces the effect of zip compression.</li>
