Roger Kapsi 149916d052 Adding ability omit the implicit #flush() call in EmbeddedChannel#writeOutbound() and
the implicit #fireChannelReadComplete() in EmbeddedChannel#writeInbound().

Motivation

We use EmbeddedChannels to implement a ProxyChannel of some sorts that shovels
messages between a source and a destination Channel. The latter are real network
channels (such as Epoll) and they may or may not be managed in a ChannelPool. We
could fuse both ends directly together but the EmbeddedChannel provides a nice
disposable section of a ChannelPipeline that can be used to instrument the messages
that are passing through the proxy portion.

The ideal flow looks abount like this:

source#channelRead() -> proxy#writeOutbound() -> destination#write()
source#channelReadComplete() -> proxy#flushOutbound() -> destination#flush()

destination#channelRead() -> proxy#writeInbound() -> source#write()
destination#channelReadComplete() -> proxy#flushInbound() -> source#flush()

The problem is that #writeOutbound() and #writeInbound() emit surplus #flush()
and #fireChannelReadComplete() events which in turn yield to surplus #flush()
calls on both ends of the pipeline.

Modifications

Introduce a new set of write methods that reain the same sematics as the #write()
method and #flushOutbound() and #flushInbound().

Result

It's possible to implement the above ideal flow.
