In 1df18a1c9a (reftable: honor core.fsync, 2024-01-23), we have added
code to fsync both newly written reftables as well as "tables.list" to
disk. But there are two code paths where "tables.list" is being written:

  - When appending a new table due to a normal ref update.

  - When compacting a range of tables during compaction.

We have only addressed the former code path, but do not yet sync the new
"tables.list" file in the latter. Fix this ommission.

Note that we are not yet adding any tests. These tests will be added
once the "reftable" backend has been upstreamed.

Nice catch! I noticed a small typo in the commit message but otherwise looks
good to me.

I knew this looked weird when writing it! Should've looked it up.

Thanks. I'll refrain from sending out a new version for this typo alone,
but will fix it if other feedback requires a second iteration.
