This is a partial solution for #16237 and #18984 so that archive mode does not hog the write cache memory allowance, since it doesn't keep dirty stuff in memory either way. Might as well use all that memory for the read cache.
It does not yet fully address the issue, since we also need a mechanism to move dirty stuff into the write cache on commit, so don't close the linked issues on merge.
Benchmark running on mon08/mon09. I'm not seeing any significant enough difference to care in either direction. Master seems a bit faster, but compaction dwarfs both runtimes.
