Christian Hergert f3082a3683 global: force fsync() to worker thread when saving state 
The g_file_replace_contents_async() API can potentially call fsync() from
the thread calling into it upon completion. This can have disasterous
effects when run from the compositor main thread such as complete stalls.

This is a followup to 86a00b6872 which
assumed (like the rest of us) that the fsync() would be performed on the
thread that was doing the I/O operations.

You can verify this with an strace -e fsync and cause terminal to display
a command completed notification (eg: from a backdrop window).

This also fixes a lifecycle bug for the variant, as
g_file_replace_contents_async() does not copy the data during the operation
as that is the responsibility of the caller. Instead, we just use a GBytes
variant and reference the variant there.
