This PR is a spin-off from https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/4263 and https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/5179 and deliberately concentrates **only** on the case where both, source **and** target, are actually `FileChannel`s. Other types of channels will be discussed in future PRs.

A rather similar approach in different use casse was recently implemented by https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/5097 which was reported by even provide 5x performance (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/5097#issuecomment-897271997).
