Peter Maydell 26f6b15e26 Block patches:
- New block filter: preallocate (which, on writes beyond an image file's
   end, allocates big chunks of data so that such post-EOF writes will
   occur less frequently)
 - write-zeroes and block-status support for Quorum
 - Implementation of truncate for the nvme block driver similarly to the
   existing implementations for host block devices and iscsi devices
 - Block layer refactoring: Drop the tighten_restrictions concept in the
   block permission functions
 - iotest fixes
