Diskless replication: rio fdset target new supports buffering.

To perform a socket write() for each RDB rio API write call was
extremely unefficient, so now rio has minimal buffering capabilities.
Writes are accumulated into a buffer and only when a given limit is
reacehd are actually wrote to the N slaves FDs.

Trivia: rio lacked support for buffering since our targets were:

1) Memory buffers.
2) C standard I/O.

Both were buffered already.
