populate: remove file creation loops that take forever
Replace the file creation loops with a perl script that does everything
we want from a single process. This reduces the runtime of
_scratch_xfs_populate substantially by avoiding thousands of execve
overhead. On my system, this reduces the runtime of xfs/349 (with scrub
enabled) from ~140s to ~45s.
