libext2fs: Make ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() more robust against ENOSPC
In the case where we ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() is replacing the block
mapping at the beginning of an already-existing extent, insert a new
extent if necessary before shrinking an existing extent, to avoid data
loss if the disk is full.
This mostly addresses the problem described in Red Hat Bugzilla's
statistics are still wrong, but at least the files on the filesystem
are not corrupted. If there is a failure during the
inode_scan_and_fix pass, the simplest thing to do may be to tell the
user to run e2fsck -fy.
