Document FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE

for punching holes in the allocated space in a file.
* Changes to individual pages
dup.2
SYNOPSIS: Add "#include <fntl.h>" for O_* constants
fallocate.2
Substantial restructuring of DESCRIPTION
The addition of a second class of operation ("hole punching")
to the man page made it clear that some significant restructuring
is required. So I substantially reworked the page, including the
preexisting material on the default "file allocation" operation.
Add further details for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
ERRORS: Add EPERM error case for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
