tarfs: Implement VOP_BMAP

Description

tarfs: Implement VOP_BMAP

This lets tarfs provide readahead/behind hints to the VFS, which helps
memory-mapped I/O performance, important when running faulting in
executables out of a tarfs mount as one might if tarfs is used to back
the root filesystem, for example. The improvement is particularly
noticeable when the backing tarball is zstd-compressed.

The implementation simply returns the extent of the virtual block
containing the target offset, clamped by the maximum I/O size. This is
perhaps simplistic; it effectively just chooses values that would
correspond to a single VOP_READ call in tarfs_read_file().
