MDEV-14244 MariaDB fails to run with O_DIRECT

os_file_set_size(): If posix_fallocate() returns EINVAL, fall back
to writing zero bytes to the file. Also, remove some error log output,
and make it possible for a server shutdown to interrupt the fall-back
code.

MariaDB used to ignore any possible return value from posix_fallocate()
ever since innodb_use_fallocate was introduced in MDEV-4338. If EINVAL
was returned, the file would not be extended.

Starting with MDEV-11520, MariaDB would treat EINVAL as a hard error.

Why is the EINVAL returned? The GNU posix_fallocate() function
would first try the fallocate() system call, which would return
-EOPNOTSUPP for many file systems (notably, not ext4). Then, it
would fall back to extending the file one block at a time by invoking
pwrite(fd, "", 1, offset) where offset is 1 less than a multiple of
the file block size. This would fail with EINVAL if the file is in
O_DIRECT mode, because O_DIRECT requires aligned operation.
