Write-Behind Logging

Summary: Write-behind logging for DBMSs on NVM; logs changed data, not the exact operations, to exploit fine-grained persistence. Flushing changes before logging enables near-instant recovery, 1.3x throughput, >100x faster recovery, and 1.5x smaller storage footprint, replication-compatible.
