Previously, files with a hole at the end would get silently truncated which breaks reading journal files. This commit makes sure that holes are punched in existing space and if no more space is available, that we grow the file and the hole by using ftruncate(). The corresponding test is extended to put a hole at the end of the file and we make sure that hole is copied correctly.
