block: pass bdrv_* methods to bs->file by default in block filters

The following functions fail if bs->drv is a filter and does not
implement them:

bdrv_probe_blocksizes
bdrv_probe_geometry
bdrv_truncate
bdrv_has_zero_init
bdrv_get_info

Instead, the call should be passed to bs->file if it exists, to allow
filter drivers to support those methods without implementing them. This
commit makes `drv->is_filter = true` imply that these callbacks will be
forwarded to bs->file by default, so disabling support for these
functions must be done explicitly.
