Add more fs::path operator/ and operator+ overloads to prevent unsafe
string->path conversions on Windows that would cause strings to be
decoded according to the current Windows locale & code page instead of
the correct string encoding.
Update application code to deal with loss of implicit string->path
conversions by calling fs::u8path or fs::PathFromString explicitly, or
by just changing variable types from std::string to fs::path to avoid
conversions altoghther, or make them happen earlier.
In all cases, there's no change in behavior either (1) because strings
only contained ASCII characters and would be decoded the same regardless
of what encoding was used, or (2) because of the 1:1 mapping between
paths and strings using the PathToString and PathFromString functions.

There is no change in behavior. This just helps prepare for the
transition from boost::filesystem to std::filesystem by avoiding calls
to methods which will be unsafe after the transaction to std::filesystem
to due lack of a boost::filesystem::path::imbue equivalent and inability
to set a predictable locale.

It was recently pointed out to me that calling fsync() or fdatasync() on a new
file is not sufficient to ensure it's persisted to disk, a the existence of the
file itself is stored in the directory inode. This means that ensuring that a
new file is actually committed also requires an fsync() on the parent directory.
This change ensures that we call fsync() on the blocks directory after
committing new block files.
