This is the org-fill-buffer command, done generically for people who want
to fill or unfill the entire buffer, as is required when alternating
between hard newline filling and visual line mode filling.
See attached patch for docstring and commit message.

Subject: [PATCH] org.el: introducing org-fill-buffer
* lisp/org.el: (org-fill-buffer) this command walks the tree and will
call fill-paragraph on every paragraph or plain-list element, enabling
the user to quickly cycle between hard newlines or visual-line-mode.
They can also adjust the fill, such as after removing indentation.
