Write buffer metadata into file ASAP #1628

As shown in #1589, file buffer chunks possibly make broken/empty .meta files for its metadata.
I found that some points to be improved to prevent such cases:

  • write metadata into files just after initializing buffer chunk object
    • before: .meta content is written at the time of #commit or enqueue! - it's too late
  • write metadata msgpack binary, then truncate .meta file into the size of metadata
    • before: .meta was truncated into 0 at first, then msgpack binary was written

…the size of metadata binary.

It's to minimize the possibility to make empty metadata file (by failing write metadata after truncating the file), and
it should work well with `#restore_metadata` method because MessagePack unpacker reads just one complete msgpack object
from the head of file (and ignore rest).

The behavior of msgpack unpacker for non-truncated files is proven here: https://gist.github.com/tagomoris/4b22651072aadc74b0ab9ecdfcf658a2

[a loooooooooooooooooooooooong msgpack binary]
[overwriting short binary]oong msgpack binary] # => unpacker unpacks shorter one only

I tested this patch with several days and no problem on my mac.
So merged and will release rc version for testing at other environment.
