bcachefs: Allow existing stripes to be updated with new data buckets
This solves internal fragmentation within stripes. We already have copygc, which evacuates buckets that are partially or mostly empty, but it's up to the ec code that manages stripes to deal with stripes that have empty buckets in them. This patch changes the path for creating new stripes to check if there's existing stripes with empty buckets - and if so, update them with new data buckets instead of creating new stripes. TODO: improve the disk space accounting so that we can only use this (more expensive path) when we have too much fragmentation in existing stripes.
