Fiona reported that ZFS makes sparse file testing awkward, since:
- it has asynchronous allocation (not even 'fsync $file' makes du see
the desired size; it takes the slower 'fsync -f $file' which is not
appropriate for the tests)
- for tests of fully allocated files, ZFS with compression enabled
still reports smaller disk usage
Add a new _require_disk_usage that quickly probes whether an attempt
to create a sparse 5M file shows as less than 1M usage, while the same
file with -o preallocation=full shows as more than 4M usage without
sync, which should filter out ZFS behavior. Then use it in various
affected tests.
This does not add the new filter on all tests that Fiona is seeing ZFS
failures on, but only those where I could quickly spot that there is
at least one place where the test depends on the output of 'du -b' or
'stat -c %b'.

We are going to drop group file. Define group in tests as a preparatory
step.
The patch is generated by
cd tests/qemu-iotests
grep '^[0-9]\{3\} ' group | while read line; do
file=$(awk '{print $1}' <<< "$line");
groups=$(sed -e 's/^... //' <<< "$line");
awk "NR==2{print \"# group: $groups\"}1" $file > tmp;
cat tmp > $file;
done

We already have 221 for accesses through the page cache, but it is
better to create a new file for O_DIRECT instead of integrating those
test cases into 221. This way, we can make use of
_supported_cache_modes (and _default_cache_mode) so the test is
automatically skipped on filesystems that do not support O_DIRECT.
As part of the split, add _supported_cache_modes to 221. With that, it
no longer fails when run with -c none or -c directsync.
