cluster/stripe: implement the coalesce stripe file format
The coalesce file format for cluster/stripe condenses the striped
files to a contiguous layout. The elimination of holes in striped
files eliminates space wasted via local filesystem preallocation
heuristics and significantly improves read performance.
Coalesce mode is implemented with a new 'coalesce' xlator option,
which is user-configurable and disabled by default. The format of
newly created files is marked with a new 'stripe-coalesce' xattr.
Cluster/stripe handles/preserves the format of files regardless
of the current mode of operation (i.e., a volume can
simultaneously consist of coalesced and non-coalesced files).
Files without the stripe-coalesce attribute are assumed to have
the traditional format to provide backward compatibility.
extras/stripe-merge: support traditional and coalesce stripe formats
Update the stripe-merge recovery tool to handle the traditional
and coalesced file formats. The format of the file is detected
automatically (and verified) via the stripe-coalesce attributes.
