Add four flags for the pwritev2(2) system call, allowing an application
to give the kernel a hint about what on-media life times can be
expected from a given write.
The intent is for these values to be relative to each other, no
absolute meaning should be attached to these flag names.
Set aside 3 bits in the iocb flags structure to carry this information
over from the pwritev2 RWF_WRITE_LIFE_* flags.
