Increase threshold for superblock expansion from ~50% -> ~88% full
Superblock expansion is an irreversible operation. In an effort to prevent superblock expansion from claiming valuable scratch space (important for small, <~8 block filesystems), littlefs prevents superblock expansion when the disk is "mostly full". In true computer-scientist fashion, this "mostly full" threshold was set to ~50%. As pointed out by gbolgradov and rojer, >~50% utilization is not uncommon, and it can lead to a situation where superblock expansion does not occur in a relatively healthy filesystem, causing focused wear at the root. To remedy this, the threshold is now increased to ~88% (7/8) full. This may change in the future and should probably be eventually user configurable. Found by gbolgradov and rojer
