Erik Grinaker f18aa04b90 safekeeper: use set_len() to zero out segments (#9665)
## Problem

When we create a new segment, we zero it out in order to avoid changing
the length and fsyncing metadata on every write. However, we zeroed it
out by writing 8 KB zero-pages, and Tokio file writes have non-trivial
overhead.

## Summary of changes

Zero out the segment using
[`File::set_len()`](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/tokio/fs/struct.File.html#method.set_len)
instead. This will typically (depending on the filesystem) just write a
sparse file and omit the 16 MB of data entirely. This improves WAL
append throughput for large messages by over 400% with fsync disabled,
and 100% with fsync enabled.
