[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v4 1/1] pxar/extract: if possible create files sparesly

[Dominik Csapak]

instead of filling them with zeroes

this fixes an issue where we could not restore a container with large
sparse files in the backup (e.g. a 10GiB sparse file in a container
with a 8GiB disk)

if the last operation of the copy was a seek, we need to truncate
the file to the correct size (seek beyond filesize does not change it)
