I have cleaned up the code so it is reasonable to ship and use by
end-users.  It is documented already where we mention setting
wal_sync_method, but having it in src/tools really is a hinderance.

It seems like /contrib would be more natural, no?  /bin seems like
overkill because most people will not want to run it.  Most of /contrib
is installed already by installers, I think.
