fuse: Allow growable exports
These will behave more like normal files in that writes beyond the EOF will automatically grow the export size. As an optimization, keep the RESIZE permission for growable exports so we do not have to take it for every post-EOF write. (This permission is not released when the export is destroyed, because at that point the BlockBackend is destroyed altogether anyway.)
