Added an optional "flush" flag on ArvadosFileWriter.close(), that's True by default so that all clients get the old behaviour implicitly.
Updated some new tests to explictly not flush when closing to test the new packing feature.

Run the tests a couple of times on Jenkins:

https://ci.curoverse.com/job/developer-run-tests/24/
https://ci.curoverse.com/job/developer-run-tests/25/

...with different tests failing, and fuse tests failing on both. Locally all the tests passed, including the fuse ones, which I ran at least 3 times.

Looks like builds 24 and 25 both failed on an unrelated(?) flaky test #10008.

FUSE tests pass for me as well.

I think it would be good to have a test in sdk/python that ensures close() (without flush=False) causes short blocks to be committed. Currently it seems like we are relying on FUSE integration test tests.test_mount.FuseModifyFileTest to catch that.

With that, e86904a LGTM, thanks.
