When backfilling sync operations, we need to pause generating timestamps until backfill is complete in order to ensure that backfill operations have a lower timestamp than newer operations that are queued to occur after generating timestamps. This PR implements that by locking sync timestamp generation behind a semaphore that's used both when writing realtime operations and backfilling.
