Revised patch, with description of extension in the PROTOCOL file.

Hopefully I'll be able to get it in this time. I wasn't able to
convince everyone that it was worth the DoS risk before (many platforms
implement fsync() by just calling the fs-wide sync() function which can
trigger a lot of I/O), but now we have the request blacklist that can
avoid this in cases where users can't be trusted.
