) * Revise the documentation for `sync` etc. and `nonblock`. sync, dsync, and rsync refer to specific types of data integrity defined by POSIX, however at this time these guarantees have not been evaluated in the context of implementations on non-POSIX filesystem backends. Add caveats to these flags accorrdingly. Also, most Unix filesystems don't implement nonblock mode for files, so add wording mentioning that nonblock may not actually make things non-blocking. And update references to `wouldblock` to say `again`, as wasi-filesystem doesn't have a separate `wouldblock` error code.
