Add documentation for --ghost-fiemap

Browse source 
The --ghost-fiemap option was introduced with #1963.

It enables an optimized algorithm based on fiemap ioctl that can reduce
the number of syscalls used to checkpoint highly sparse ghost files. This
option is enabled by default. It can be disabled with --no-ghost-fiemap
when using SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA is preferred. In addition, an automatic
fallback to SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA is used for filesystems that do not
supporting fiemap.

*--ghost-fiemap*::
Enable an optimization based on fiemap ioctl that can reduce the
number of system calls used when checkpointing highly sparse ghost
files. This option is enabled by default, and it can be disabled
with *--no-ghost-fiemap*. An automatic fallback to SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA
is used when fiemap is not supported.
*-j*, *--shell-job*::
Allow one to dump shell jobs. This implies the restored task will
inherit session and process group ID from the *criu* itself.
