Do not relocate extents to make them contiguous if the underlying drive can do

Description

Do not relocate extents to make them contiguous if the underlying drive can do
deletions. Ability to do deletions is a strong indication that this
optimization will not help performance. It will only generate extra write
traffic. These devices are typically flash based and have a limited number of
write cycles. In addition, making the file contiguous in LBA space doesn't
improve the access times from flash devices because they have no seek time.
