Feature or enhancement
fcntl exposes many constants for the fcntl and ioctl system calls. The module should expose FICLONE and FICLONERANGE too; they can be passed to ioctl to share some data of one file with another file by reflinking on some filesystems (e.g., btrfs, OCFS2, and XFS).

Pitch
These constants can be used to reflink files in users' code, and they have a potential to be used in shutil in the future #81338.
