tests: disable fsync everywhere

The "GIT_TEST_FSYNC" environment variable now exists for
disabling fsync() even on packfiles and other "critical" data.

Running "make test -j8 NO_SVN_TESTS=1" on a noisy 8-core system
on an HDD, test runtime drops from ~4 minutes down to ~3 minutes.
Using "GIT_TEST_FSYNC=1" re-enables fsync() for comparison
purposes.

SVN interopability tests are minimally affected since SVN will
still use fsync in various places.

This will also be useful for 3rd-party tools which create
throwaway git repositories of temporary data, but remains
undocumented for end users.
