[libvirt] [PATCH option 1] Use fallocate directly if possible

[Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If fallocate() is present, use it directly instead of posix_allocate().
If it is not support by the kernel or filesystem, emulate it using
mmap() or write().

This change is to work around slow fallocate emulation done by glibc's
posix_allocate() when used on files opened with O_DSYNC.
