feature: du shared extents reflink
Addresses #3906:
On copy-on-write filesystems it is possible to copy files without really copying the contents. The contents are copied when modified.
This pullrequests introduces a new feature for "du --shared-extents" that consideres the shared extents of the files, not counting it double.
As said in the ticket, i don't want to add new features that GNU doesn't have until we are at parity. Sorry.
I see. So what do we want to do with this pull request? I've seen you started commenting already. Thanks for this :-) . But if its not gona be merged, we should stop working on it. Whats your plan?
