// A sparse file can be represented as either a sparseDatas or a sparseHoles.
// As long as the total size is known, they are equivalent and one can be
// converted to the other form and back. The various tar formats with sparse
// file support represent sparse files in the sparseDatas form. That is, they
// specify the fragments in the file that has data, and treat everything else as
// having zero bytes. As such, the encoding and decoding logic in this package
// deals with sparseDatas.
//
// However, the external API uses sparseHoles instead of sparseDatas because the
// zero value of sparseHoles logically represents a normal file (i.e., there are
// no holes in it). On the other hand, the zero value of sparseDatas implies
// that the file has no data in it, which is rather odd.
//
// As an example, if the underlying raw file contains the 10-byte data:
//
//	var compactFile = "abcdefgh"
//
// And the sparse map has the following entries:
//
//	var spd sparseDatas = []sparseEntry{
//		{Offset: 2,  Length: 5},  // Data fragment for 2..6
//		{Offset: 18, Length: 3},  // Data fragment for 18..20

//		{Offset: 7,  Length: 11}, // Hole fragment for 7..17
//		{Offset: 21, Length: 4},  // Hole fragment for 21..24
//	}
//
// Then the content of the resulting sparse file with a Header.Size of 25 is:
//
