fdatasync module proposal

[Paul Eggert]

Surely coreutils is not the only program that will have problems
with fdatasync on Mac OS.  How about the following gnulib patches?
One is for fdatasync, the other for its tests.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fdatasync: New module

* MODULES.html.sh: Add it.
* doc/posix-functions/fdatasync.texi (fdatasync): Document it.
* lib/unistd.in.h (fdatasync): Arrange for replacement.
* m4/unistd_h.m4 (gl_UNISTD_H): Prepare for warn-on-use.
(gl_UNISTD_H_DEFAULTS): Define defaults for it.
* modules/unistd (unistd.h): Substitute for its vars.
* lib/fdatasync.c, m4/fdatasync.m4, modules/fdatasync: New files.
