    erofs: add sparse support to pcluster layout

    Although zeros can be compressed transparently on EROFS using fixed-size
    output compression so that it is never prioritized in the Android use
    cases, indicating entire pclusters as holes is still useful to preserve
    holes in the sparse datasets; otherwise overlayfs will allocate more
    space when copying up, and SEEK_HOLE won't report any hole.

    This patch introduces two ways to mark a pcluster as a hole:

     - A new Z_EROFS_LI_HOLE compatible flag (bit 14) in the HEAD lcluster
       advise field for non-compact (full) indexes;

     - A 0-block CBLKCNT value on the first NONHEAD lcluster.

    The hole tag is preferred for maximum compatibility since pre-existing
    kernels that do not understand Z_EROFS_LI_HOLE will decompress at the
    stored blkaddr (the same blkaddr will be shared among all sparse
    pclusters).  Only the 0-block CBLKCNT approach also works for compact
    indexes, but it is limited to big pclusters and new kernels.
