glusterfs: discard (hole punch) support
Add support for the DISCARD file operation. Discard punches a hole in a file in the provided range. Block de-allocation is implemented via fallocate() (as requested via fuse and passed on to the brick fs) but a separate fop is created within gluster to emphasize the fact that discard changes file data (the discarded region is replaced with zeroes) and must invalidate caches where appropriate.
