io_uring: let to set a range for file slot allocation
From recently io_uring provides an option to allocate a file index for operation registering fixed files. However, it's utterly unusable with mixed approaches when for a part of files the userspace knows better where to place it, as it may race and users don't have any sane way to pick a slot and hoping it will not be taken. Let the userspace to register a range of fixed file slots in which the auto-allocation happens. The use case is splittting the fixed table in two parts, where on of them is used for auto-allocation and another for slot-specified operations.
