Fixes #2632, #2145, #2564
Files over 16M are now written incrementally chunks rather than buffered
in memory in one full linear buffer. This chunk size is not
configurable.
For threaded unpacking, the entire memory buffer will be used to buffer
chunks and a single worker thread will dispatch IO operations from the
buffer, so minimal performance impact should be anticipated (file
size/16M round trips at worst, and most network file systems will
latency hide linear writes).
For immediate unpacking, each chunk is dispatched directly to disk,
which may impact performance as less latency hiding is possible - but
for immediate unpacking clarity of behaviour is the priority.
