Sara Hartse 37f03da8ba Fast Clone Deletion
Deleting a clone requires finding blocks are clone-only, not shared
with the snapshot. This was done by traversing the entire block tree
which results in a large performance penalty for sparsely
written clones.

This is new method keeps track of clone blocks when they are
modified in a "Livelist" so that, when it’s time to delete,
the clone-specific blocks are already at hand.

We see performance improvements because now deletion work is
proportional to the number of clone-modified blocks, not the size
of the original dataset.
