For files with O_APPEND, a file write operation gets a file size and uses it as
offset to call an inode write operation. This means that all other operations
which can change a file size should be blocked while the write operation doesn't
complete.

This does not actually implement an efficient splice or sendfile. Rather, it
adds a generic plumbing to the file internals so that this can be added. All
file implementations use the stub fileutil.NoSplice implementation, which
causes sendfile and splice to fall back to an internal copy.
A basic splice system call interface is added, along with a test.
