There are some optimizations that require knowing if an image starts out as reading all zeroes, such as making blockdev-mirror faster by skipping the copying of source zeroes to the destination. The existing bdrv_co_is_zero_fast() is a good building block for answering this question, but it tends to give an answer of 0 for a file we just created via QMP 'blockdev-create' or similar (such as 'qemu-img create -f raw'). Why? Because file-posix.c insists on allocating a tiny header to any file rather than leaving it 100% sparse, due to some filesystems that are unable to answer alignment probes on a hole. But teaching file-posix.c to read the tiny header doesn't scale - the problem of a small header is also visible when libvirt sets up an NBD client to a just-created file on a migration destination host. So, we need a wrapper function that handles a bit more complexity in a common manner for all block devices - when the BDS is mostly a hole, but has a small non-hole header, it is still worth the time to read that header and check if it reads as all zeroes before giving up and returning a pessimistic answer.
