PR30316: debuginfod wal checkpointingusers/fche/try-filecomp
Add a "--scan-checkpoint=NUM" option to debuginfod to control forced
synchronization & sqlite -wal checkpointing for the multithreaded
scanning process. In absence of this, a server that's busy with other
read & write operations can accumulate potentially large SQLITE WAL
temporary files. This option causes the server to take intermittent
quiescent breaks during scanning, during which the -wal file can be
processed and truncated.
