Subject: [PATCH] (!1682) os: log: drop now meaningless XLOG_FLUSH option

Since we're not indirectly writing via FILE anymore, this option has
become meaningless: it meant flushing out our in-process buffer to
the kernel, but we're now doing direct write() calls anyways.

xf86 still accepts the "flush" config file flag for backwards compatibility,
but it hasn't any practical meaning anymore.
