io_uring: add flag for allocating a fully sparse direct descriptor space

Browse source 
Currently to setup a fully sparse descriptor space upfront, the app needs
to alloate an array of the full size and memset it to -1 and then pass
that in. Make this a bit easier by allowing a flag that simply does
this internally rather than needing to copy each slot separately.

This works with IORING_REGISTER_FILES2 as the flag is set in struct
io_uring_rsrc_register, and is only allow when the type is
IORING_RSRC_FILE as this doesn't make sense for registered buffers.
