Type hints, optional sparse output, stdin as input

[elonen]

This PR implements several improvements:

• Add Python type hints
• Remove seeking of input, making it possible to use /dev/stdin (e.g. zstdcat pipe) as an input (fixes FR. Using stdin as input #3)
• Optionally write output as sparse files instead of filling explicitly with zeros. Zero-fill is default, however, as I've recently encoutered some odd integrity issues with sparse VMA extracts on CephFS

It has so far always produced identical output to the original PVE vma command, but it's really hard to be 100% sure as the VMA format unfortunately doesn't have checksums for the device image contents, only the file headers.

Great, both sparseness and supporting pipes are very welcome additions. Worked for me.
You might want to support "-" in addition to "/dev/stdin" as a special case abbreviation to /dev/stdin. That is used by most *nix commandline tools.
