Use the path/filepath package instead of the path package. The
path package assumes slash-separated paths, which doesn't work
on Windows. But path/filepath manipulates filename paths in a way
that's compatible across OSes.
A call file.Sync on OSX doesn't guarantee actual persistence on
physical drive media as the data can be cached in physical drive's
buffers. Hence calls to file.Sync need to be replaced with
fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC).
On ReadAll, WAL seeks to the end of the last record in the tail. If the tail did not
end with preallocated space, the decoder would report 0 as the last offset and begin
writing at offset 0 of the tail.
Fixes#4903
File lock interface was more verbose than it needed to be while
simultaneously making it difficult to support systems (e.g., Windows)
that only permit locked writes on a single fd holding the lock.
It is safe to repair the unexpectedEOF error in the last wal. raft
will not send out message before the entry successfully comitted
into wal. Thus we can safely truncate the last entry in the wal
to repair.
