Fixed the safezero call for allocating the rest of the file after cloning an existing volume; it used to always use a zero offset, causing it to only allocate the beginning of the file. Also modified file creation to try to use fallocate(2) to pre-allocate disk space before copying any data to make sure it fails early on if disk is full and makes sure we can skip zero blocks when copying file contents. If fallocate isn't available we will zero out the rest of the file after cloning and only use sparse cloning if client requested a lower allocation than the input volume's capacity.
