Derek McGowan f845067cf7 unix: add Linux CopyFileRange syscall ...

Introduces the CopyFileRange syscall which first appears in Linux 4.5.
Allows copying file content between file descriptors within the kernel
without transferring data to user space. This syscall also allows the
kernel to take advantage of reflinking or other fast copy methods on
supported file systems.
