While investigating poor cold start performance on my GCP VM (32 cores,
130GB SSD), I found that writing to the various sqlite databases in
DENO_DIR was quite slow. The slowness seems to primarily be caused by
excessive latency from a number of `fsync()` calls.
The performance difference is best demonstrated by deleting the sqlite
databases from DENO_DIR while leaving the downloaded sources in place.
The benchmark (see notes below):
```
piscisaureus@bert-us:~/erofs/source$ export DENO_DIR=./.deno
piscisaureus@bert-us:~/erofs/source$ hyperfine --warmup 3 \
--prepare "rm -rf .deno/*_v1*" \
"deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts" \
"eatmydata deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts" \
"~/deno/target/release/deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts"
Benchmark 1: deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts
Time (mean ± σ): 1.174 s ± 0.037 s [User: 0.153 s, System: 0.184 s]
Range (min … max): 1.104 s … 1.212 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: eatmydata deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts
Time (mean ± σ): 265.5 ms ± 3.6 ms [User: 138.5 ms, System: 135.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 260.6 ms … 271.2 ms 11 runs
Benchmark 3: ~/deno/target/release/deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts
Time (mean ± σ): 226.2 ms ± 9.2 ms [User: 136.7 ms, System: 93.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 218.8 ms … 247.1 ms 13 runs
Summary
~/deno/target/release/deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts ran
1.17 ± 0.05 times faster than eatmydata deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts
5.19 ± 0.27 times faster than deno run -A --cached-only demo.ts
```
Notes:
* Benchmark 1: unmodified Deno 1.43.6
* Benchmark 2: unmodified Deno 1.43.6 wrapped with `eatmydata` (which is
a tool to neuter `fsync()` calls)
* Benchmark 3: this PR applied on top of Deno 1.43.6
The script that got benchmarked:
```typescript
// demo.ts
import * as express from "npm:express@4.16.3";
import * as postgres from "https://deno.land/x/postgres/mod.ts";
let _dummy = [express, postgres]; // Force use of imports.
console.log("hello world");
```

Deno CLI Crate
This provides the actual deno executable and the user-facing APIs.
The deno crate uses the deno_core to provide the executable.
