block: Add bdrv_supports_compressed_writes()

Filters cannot compress data themselves but they have to implement
.bdrv_co_pwritev_compressed() still (or they cannot forward compressed
writes).  Therefore, checking whether
bs->drv->bdrv_co_pwritev_compressed is non-NULL is not sufficient to
know whether the node can actually handle compressed writes.  This
function looks down the filter chain to see whether there is a
non-filter that can actually convert the compressed writes into
compressed data (and thus normal writes).
