Add support for packing sparse files
This commit adds support for packing sparse files into squashfs images as follows: - In the data writer: simply detect zero blocks and write a zero to the block size field and don't emit any data. Record the number of bytes saved this way. For fragments, set the fragment offset to invalid. - In the inode writer: write out the number of bytes saved for sparse files. If there should be a fragment but there is none, append a block count of 0. - In the data reader: if the block size is 0, read nothing from disk and emit an empty block. Do the same if the fragment is missing. - In the inode reader: restore the number of bytes saved for sparse files. The sparse files can be packed and unpacked, but the unpacking will not create sparse files for now. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
