libsparse: add function to resparse a file and a utility to use it
Add sparse_file_repsarse, which splits chunks in an existing sparse
file such that the maximum size of a chunk, plus a header and footer,
is smaller than the given size. This will allow multiple smaller
sparse files to result in the same data as a large sparse file.
