This implements a suggestion from Trond that we can mimic FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE by sending a compound that first does a DEALLOCATE to punch a hole in a file, and then an ALLOCATE to fill the hole with zeroes. There might technically be a race here, but once the DEALLOCATE finishes any reads from the region would return zeroes anyway, so I don't expect it to cause problems.
