/**
 * Handles serialization of the data and persistence into a file.
 *
 * This modules handles the raw data stored in JavaScript serializable objects,
 * and contains no special validation or query logic, that is handled entirely
 * by "storage.js" instead.
 *
 * The data can be manipulated only after it has been loaded from disk.  The
 * load process can happen asynchronously, through the "load" method, or
 * synchronously, through "ensureDataReady".  After any modification, the
 * "saveSoon" method must be called to flush the data to disk asynchronously.
 *
 * The raw data should be manipulated synchronously, without waiting for the
 * event loop or for promise resolution, so that the saved file is always
 * consistent.  This synchronous approach also simplifies the query and update
 * logic.  For example, it is possible to find an object and modify it
 * immediately without caring whether other code modifies it in the meantime.
 *
 * An asynchronous shutdown observer makes sure that data is always saved before
 * the browser is closed. The data cannot be modified during shutdown.
 *
 * The file is stored in JSON format, without indentation, using UTF-8 encoding.

/**
 * Handles serialization of the data and persistence into a file.
 *
 * @param config An object containing following members:
 *        - path: String containing the file path where data should be saved.
 *        - sanitizedBasename: Sanitized string identifier used for logging,
 *                             shutdown debugging, and telemetry.  Defaults to
 *                             basename of given `path`, sanitized.
 *        - dataPostProcessor: Function triggered when data is just loaded. The
 *                             data object will be passed as the first argument
 *                             and should be returned no matter it's modified or
 *                             not. Its failure leads to the failure of load()
 *                             and ensureDataReady().
 *        - saveDelayMs: Number indicating the delay (in milliseconds) between a
 *                       change to the data and the related save operation. The
 *                       default value will be applied if omitted.
 *        - beforeSave: Promise-returning function triggered just before the
 *                      data is written to disk. This can be used to create any
 *                      intermediate directories before saving. The file will
 *                      not be saved if the promise rejects or the function
 *                      throws an exception.
 *        - finalizeAt: An `IOUtils` phase or barrier client that should
 *                      automatically finalize the file when triggered. Defaults
 *                      to `profileBeforeChange`; exposed as an option for
 *                      testing.
 *        - compression: A compression algorithm to use when reading and
 *                       writing the data.
 *        - backupTo: A string value indicating where writeAtomic should create
 *                    a backup before writing to json files. Note that using this
 *                    option currently ensures that we automatically restore backed
 *                    up json files in load() and ensureDataReady() when original
 *                    files are missing or corrupt.
