Zach Brown 73bf916182 Return ENOSPC as space gets low
Returning ENOSPC is challenging because we have clients working on
allocators which are a fraction of the whole and we use COW transactions
so we need to be able to allocate to free.  This adds support for
returning ENOSPC to client posix allocators as free space gets low.

For metadata, we reserve a number of free blocks for making progress
with client and server transactions which can free space.  The server
sets the low flag in a client's allocator if we start to dip into
reserved blocks.  In the client we add an argument to entering a
transaction which indicates if we're allocating new space (as opposed to
just modifying existing data or freeing).  When an allocating
transaction runs low and the server low flag is set then we return
ENOSPC.

Adding an argument to transaciton holders and having it return ENOSPC
gave us the opportunity to clean it up and make it a little clearer.
More work is done outside the wait_event function and it now
specifically waits for a transaction to cycle when it forces a commit
rather than spinning until the transaction worker acquires the lock and
stops it.

For data the same pattern applies except there are no reserved blocks
and we don't COW data so it's a simple case of returning the hard ENOSPC
when the data allocator flag is set.

The server needs to consider the reserved count when refilling the
client's meta_avail allocator and when swapping between the two
meta_avail and meta_free allocators.

We add the reserved metadata block count to statfs_more so that df can
subtract it from the free meta blocks and make it clear when enospc is
going to be returned for metadata allocations.

We increase the minimum device size in mkfs so that small testing
devices provide sufficient reserved blocks.

And finally we add a little test that makes sure we can fill both
metadata and data to ENOSPC and then recover by deleting what we filled.
