Writeback Cache Support

Thank you for such a cool project.

Writeback cache improves write efficiency where data written to local cache before put in s3. It also helps to maintain availability for cases where there is intermittent network connectivity lost.

I think it would be great see zerofs has support of writeback cache.

I agree that this would be interesting. That's quite a large undertaking that I've been thinking about. Before implementing anything like this, I want ZeroFS to mature a bit more to get the "basics" right.

I created an issue there about this: #501

With the new storage engine that got released in 2.0, this should be very approachable.
