Add support for extending the newest data block. For this, introduce
a new finalization state (desc_finalized) denoting a committed
descriptor that cannot be extended.
Until a record is finalized, a writer can reopen that record to
append new data. Reopening a record means transitioning from the
desc_committed state back to the desc_reserved state.
A writer can explicitly finalize a record if there is no intention
of extending it. Also, records are automatically finalized when a
new record is reserved. This relieves writers of needing to
explicitly finalize while also making such records available to
readers sooner. (Readers can only traverse finalized records.)
Four new memory barrier pairs are introduced. Two of them are
insignificant additions (data_realloc:A/desc_read:D and
data_realloc:A/data_push_tail:B) because they are alternate path
memory barriers that exactly match the purpose, pairing, and
context of the two existing memory barrier pairs they provide an
alternate path for. The other two new memory barrier pairs are
significant additions:
desc_reopen_last:A / _prb_commit:B - When reopening a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions back to desc_reserved before
fully trusting the descriptor data.
_prb_commit:B / desc_reserve:D - When committing a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions to desc_committed before checking
the head ID to see if the descriptor needs to be finalized.

+ * Descriptor Finalization
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * When a writer calls the commit function prb_commit(), record data is

+ * reopen that record, claiming exclusive access (as with prb_reserve()), and
+ * modify that record. When finished, the writer must again commit the record.

+ * In order for a record to be made available to readers (and also become

+ * in three different scenarios:
+ *
+ * 1) A writer can simultaneously commit and finalize its record by calling
+ * prb_final_commit() instead of prb_commit().
+ *
+ * 2) When a new record is reserved and the previous record has been
+ * committed via prb_commit(), that previous record is automatically
+ * finalized.

+ * 3) When a record is committed via prb_commit() and a newer record
