  it fails

- Update man page and HOWTO with new native and defaults

- Update commit message
- Update man page and HOWTO

fallocate fails which gives the user a hint that behaviour might differ
from other case along with a workaround suggestion (fallocate=none).

Fixes https://github.com/axboe/fio/issues/376 - we now have
fallocate=none fallback behaviour if native fallocate fails. On at least
glibc platforms, posix_fallocate emulates fallocate if the
platform/filesystem doesn't support it (see
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Storage-Allocation.html#index-posix_005ffallocate
for some of the caveats) resulting in strange layout performance thus

nanosecond: fix up conversion of ticks to nsec by doing the conversion in 2 stages

The ticks to nsec conversion is challenging because we care about small
differences between very large numbers. The solution used here is to do the
conversion in two stages.

The first stage carves out large chunks of time. For this patch each chunk is
approximately an hour long. The number of ticks per hour is calculated. When a
conversion is requested, an hour worth of time is accumulated each time this
number of ticks has elapsed.

The remaining ticks are handled in the second stage with the standard
multiplication and shift conversion.

This strategy deals with the multiplication-and-shift overflow problem by
limiting the scale of this operation to at most one hour. This way we can have
reasonable accuracy with this portion of the conversion. At the same time the
first stage allows the ticks to nsec conversion to be valid for long periods
of time.
