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.
