QFileSystemEngine::cloneFile: expand the Linux cloning process

FICLONE only works on (currently) btrfs and xfs, and then only if it's
the same mount, so it's of very limited use. There are a couple other
techniques we may try that do not involve I/O through user-space, though
not immediate:
 - sendfile(2) can be used on regular files, even across mountpoints
 - sendfile(2) can be used on block devices too, but we need to get the
   device's size first
 - splice(2) can be used on pipes (FIFOs)

We only implement the first technique (earlier iterations of this patch
implemented all).
