nspawn: add fallback top normal copy/reflink when we cannot btrfs snapshot
Given that other file systems (notably: xfs) support reflinks these days, let's extend the file system snapshotting logic to fall back to plan copies or reflinks when full btrfs subvolume snapshots are not available. This essentially makes "systemd-nspawn --ephemeral" and "systemd-nspawn --template=" available on non-btrfs subvolumes. Of course, both operations will still be slower on non-btrfs than on btrfs (simply because reflinking each file individually in a directory tree is still slower than doing this in one step for a whole subvolume), but it's probably good enough for many cases, and we should provide the users with the tools, they have to figure out what's good for them. Note that "machinectl clone" already had a fallback like this in place, this patch generalizes this, and adds similar support to our other cases.
