Replace the unsafe libc sync call with the nix crate's sync_filesystems function for safer filesystem synchronization. This change improves code safety by using a well-maintained Rust wrapper instead of direct unsafe libc calls.

Summary
dfcurrently uses anunsafelibc::sync()call for--sync, with a separate Android-specificsyscall(SYS_sync)branch.This PR replaces that code with
nix::unistd::sync(). That removes the manual libc/syscall handling and keeps the implementation simpler.Changes
