We have a pwritev2(2) interface based on passing in flags. Add an
fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for setting them
as well:
F_GET_WRITE_LIFE Returns one of the valid type of write hints,
like WRITE_HINT_MEDIUM.
F_SET_WRITE_LIFE Pass in a WRITE_HINT_* type to set the
write life time hint for this file/inode.
Returns 0 on succes, -1 otherwise.
