Use posix_fallocate as default.

Summary:
Ftruncate does not throw an error on disk-full. This causes Sig-bus in
the case where the database tries to issue a Put call on a full-disk.

Use posix_fallocate for allocation instead of truncate.
Add a check to use MMaped files only on ext4, xfs and tempfs, as
posix_fallocate is very slow on ext3 and older.

Test Plan: make all check

+This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast
 key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives.
 It has an Log-Stuctured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs
 between Write-Amplification-Factor(WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF)
