Change client-side fsync_fname() to report errors fatally

Given all we have learned about fsync() error handling in the last few
years, reporting an fsync() error non-fatally is not useful,
unless you don't care much about the file, in which case you probably
don't need to use fsync() in the first place.

Change fsync_fname() and durable_rename() to exit(1) on fsync() errors
other than those that we specifically chose to ignore.

This affects initdb, pg_basebackup, pg_checksums, pg_dump, pg_dumpall,
and pg_rewind.
