5203: Swarmer: Anti-fragmentation (pango, antifrag_v7)
* Each file is divided into blocks saved in new option
* file_disk_allocation_bitmap in swarmer section of files.ini
* Blocksize is computed like this: file_size / 200, rounded up to full
  megabytes, if bigger than 10MB: 10 MB are used as maximum blocksize.
  Preallocated blocks are marked file_disk_allocation_bitmap option.
* Blocks already fully preallocated on disk are prefered for downloading.
  That way one can get antifragmentation benefits without preallocating
  too much space, specially for downloads with small chunks.
* If the block about to be filled with data for the first time its read/written
  back to disk to allocate the space.
  Set verbosity to "verb" to enable logging of preallocation.
