There are a few cases where we don't allow cloning an inline extent into
the destination inode, returning -EOPNOTSUPP to user space. This was done
to prevent several types of file corruption and because it's not very
straightforward to deal with these cases, as they can't rely on simply
copying the inline extent between leaves. Such cases require copying the
inline extent's data into the respective page of the destination inode.
Not supporting these cases makes it harder and more cumbersome to write
applications/libraries that work on any filesystem with reflink support,
since all these cases for which btrfs fails with -EOPNOTSUPP work just
fine on xfs for example. These unsupported cases are also not documented
anywhere and explaining which exact cases fail require a bit of too
technical understanding of btrfs's internal (inline extents and when and
where can they exist in a file), so it's not really user friendly.
Also some test cases from fstests that use fsx, such as generic/522 for
example, can sporadically fail because they trigger one of these cases,
and fsx expects all operations to succeed.
This change adds supports for cloning all these cases by copying the
inline extent's data into the respective page of the destination inode.
With this change test case btrfs/112 from fstests fails because it
expects some clone operations to fail, so it will be updated. Also a
new test case that exercises all these previously unsupported cases
will be added to fstests.

We can not reflink parts of an inline extent, we must always reflink the
whole inline extent. We know that inline extents always start at file
offset 0 and that can never represent an amount of data larger then the
filesystem's sector size (both compressed and uncompressed). We also have
had the constraints that reflink operations must have a start offset that
is aligned to the sector size and an end offset that is also aligned or
it ends the inode's i_size, so there's no way for user space to be able
to do a reflink operation that will refer to only a part of an inline
extent.
Initially there was a bug in the inlining code that could allow compressed
inline extents that encoded more than 1 page, but that was fixed in 2008
by commit 70b99e6959a4c2 ("Btrfs: Compression corner fixes") since that
was problematic.
So remove all the extent cloning code that deals with the possibility
of cloning only partial inline extents.

The reflink code is quite large and has been living in ioctl.c since ever.
It has grown over the years after many bug fixes and improvements, and
since I'm planning on making some further improvements on it, it's time
to get it better organized by moving into its own file, reflink.c
(similar to what xfs does for example).
This change only moves the code out of ioctl.c into the new file, it
doesn't do any other change.
