Unless I'm misreading, this changes semantics by enforcing that we
cannot use KEEP_SIZE on append only files. That means one can no longer
do a post-eof prealloc without actually changing the file size, which on
a quick test seems to work today.

That aside, this all looks like a nice cleanup to me.
