/**
* 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.

* - 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 `AsyncShutdown` 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.
