Improve WAL reliability documentation, and add more cross-references to it.
In particular, we are now more explicit about the fact that you may need wal_sync_method=fsync_writethrough for crash-safety on some platforms, including MaxOS X. There's also now an explicit caution against assuming that the default setting of wal_sync_method is either crash-safe or best for performance.
