qemu-img: Require larger zero areas for sparse handling

Browse source 
By default, require 4k of consecutive zero bytes for qemu-img to make the
output file sparse by not issuing a write request for the zeroed parts. Add an
-S option to allow users to tune this setting.

This helps to avoid situations where a lot of zero sectors and data sectors are
mixed and qemu-img tended to issue many tiny 512 byte writes.
