Subject: common: fs: file: Revert Flush to its previous behavior and add
 Commit

It became apparent that logging can continuously spam errors that trigger file flushing.
Since committing the files to disk is an expensive operation, this causes unnecessarily high disk usage.
As such, we will revert Flush() to the previous behavior and add a Commit() member function in the event that this behavior is needed.
