We write a zeroed sector every 128 MiB, leaving other sectors untouched
This helps users visualize the progress of actual file creation while forcing Windows to allocate the disk space of each 128 MiB chunk immediately, otherwise, Windows would delay the allocation until we write the backup header at the end of the volume which would make the user think that the format process has stalled after progress bar reaches 100%.
This change also makes it possible to generate keyfiles larger than 1 MiB although only the first 1 MiB will be taken into account by VeraCrypt.
Update strings in XML files
In old Linux distributions, tar command doesn't support
"--keep-directory-symlink" so we now dynamically detect if this switch
is support and then we use it if it is available

Currently if you fail the privilege escalation prompt, the second
one and consecutively every second will be ignored. This is because
if we do not --use-dummy-sudo-password and are on Linux/FreeBSD,
we will be prompted for password twice for one evaluation in the
while(!ElevatedServiceAvailable) loop.
For the fix, we make sure that we run the prompt only once for each
case.
We replace absolute file pointer moving by relative moving with respect to current position. This was implemented as a workaround to address the performance issues related to in-place encryption. When using SetFilePointerEx() with FILE_BEGIN as the reference point, reaching the end of large drives during in-place encryption can cause significant slowdowns. By moving the file pointer relatively, these performance issues are mitigated.
Currently on a system without xterm or konsole (like fresh
Ubuntu install) the fsck check will not launch. Added
gnome-terminal as an alternative and fixed an issue where
konsole will always error out as --title and --caption are
no longer valid arguments.
Previously the error message was simply "xterm not found", so
new LangString LINUX_EX2MSG_TERMINALNOTFOUND was added to let the
user knows which programs they need to get the feature working.
