fallocate: introduce an option -c to support COLLAPSE_RANGE

Introduce a new option -c (or --collapse-range) to support a new flag
FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE for fallocate(2). It will nullify a particular
range [offset, offset+len] by shifting extents beyond the range to the
beginning of the hole.

You can think of this as doing a "\fBcp --sparse\fP" and
renaming the dest file as the original, without the need for extra disk space.
.IP "\fB\-c, \-\-collapse-range\fP"
Collapse a particular file range to nullify the hole. Extents beyond the range
[offset, offset+length] will be shifted to the beginning of hole. Hence this
command does not leave a hole, while \fI\-\-punch-hole\fP leaves a hole
instead of shifting extents. Both offset and length should be aligned to
the block size of filesystem.
.IP "\fB\-o, \-\-offset\fP \fIoffset\fP
Specifies the beginning offset of the allocation, in bytes.
.IP "\fB\-l, \-\-length\fP \fIlength\fP
