// setSparse sets the FSCTL_SET_SPARSE attribute on Windows files.
// This allows the OS to not allocate disk blocks for zero-filled regions,
// which is useful for large files that may not be fully written (e.g., partial
// downloads). Without this, Windows may pre-allocate disk space for the full
// file size even if most of it is zeros.
//
// Note: Errors are intentionally ignored because:
// 1. The file will still work correctly without sparse support
// 2. Not all Windows filesystems support sparse files (e.g., FAT32)
// 3. This is an optimization, not a requirement
