Ali Dowair aafe56cd6f feat(snapshots): support restoring sparse files (#1823)
* feat(snapshots): support restoring sparse files

This commit implements basic support for restoring sparse files from
a snapshot. When specifying "--mode=sparse" in a snapshot restore
command, Kopia will make a best effort to make sure the underlying
filesystem allocates the minimum amount of blocks needed to persist
restored files. In other words, enabling this feature will "force"
all restored files to be sparse-blocks of zero bytes in the source
file should not be allocated.

* Address review comments

- Separate sparse option into its own bool flag
- Implement sparsefile packagewith copySparse method
- Truncate once before writing sparse file
- Check error from Truncate
- Add unit test for copySparse
- Invoke GetBlockSize once per file copy
- Remove support for Windows and explain why
- Add unit test for stat package

  3. fast and secure backup tool

Kopia is a simple, cross-platform tool for managing encrypted backups in the cloud. It provides fast, incremental backups, secure, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication.

Unlike other cloud backup solutions, the user is in full control of the backup storage and responsible for purchasing one of the cloud storage products (such as Google Cloud Storage), which offer great durability and availability for the data.
