writer: make calling flush() in write_addition(s)() optional
using a constructor 'auto_flush' bookean argument. The idea is that in a test session, each call to 'flush()' takes ~1s to run, so having the test handling a single call to flush() when needed (instead of n calls) make test execution significantly faster.
For example, swh-storage's test_replay.py execution went from ~140s to ~40s, and test_backfill.py from ~40s to ~15s.
