merge: flush any deferred writes before, and after, running any workers
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

Since we fork to create workers, any changes they queue up will be lost after
the worker terminates, so the easiest solution is to have each worker flush
the writes they accumulate--we are close to the end of the merge in any case.

To prevent duplicated writes, we also have the master processs flush before
forking.

In an in-memory merge (M2), we'll instead disable the use of workers.

Just a personal preference: we can add def flushall(self): pass to the other ctx and just call ctx.flushall() without testing isinstance. I guess that's slightly more readable.

Ah, right, I forgot about that. I'll do that and send a new rev.
