Eric Blake 5272609670 block: Add new bdrv_co_is_all_zeroes() function
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.
