If the guest tries to write data that results on the allocation of a
new cluster, instead of writing the guest data first and then the data
from the COW regions, write everything together using one single I/O
operation.
This can improve the write performance by 25% or more, depending on
several factors such as the media type, the cluster size and the I/O
request size.

Qcow2COWRegion has two attributes:
- The offset of the COW region from the start of the first cluster
touched by the I/O request. Since it's always going to be positive
and the maximum request size is at most INT_MAX, we can use a
regular unsigned int to store this offset.
- The size of the COW region in bytes. This is guaranteed to be >= 0,
so we should use an unsigned type instead.
In x86_64 this reduces the size of Qcow2COWRegion from 16 to 8 bytes.
It will also help keep some assertions simpler now that we know that
there are no negative numbers.
The prototype of do_perform_cow() is also updated to reflect these
changes.

Passing a byte offset, but sector count, when we ultimately
want to operate on cluster granularity, is madness. Clean up
the external interfaces to take both offset and count as bytes,
while still keeping the assertion added previously that the
caller must align the values to a cluster. Then rename things
to make sure backports don't get confused by changed units:
instead of qcow2_discard_clusters() and qcow2_zero_clusters(),
we now have qcow2_cluster_discard() and qcow2_cluster_zeroize().
The internal functions still operate on clusters at a time, and
return an int for number of cleared clusters; but on an image
with 2M clusters, a single L2 table holds 256k entries that each
represent a 2M cluster, totalling well over INT_MAX bytes if we
ever had a request for that many bytes at once. All our callers
currently limit themselves to 32-bit bytes (and therefore fewer
clusters), but by making this function 64-bit clean, we have one
less place to clean up if we later improve the block layer to
support 64-bit bytes through all operations (with the block layer
auto-fragmenting on behalf of more-limited drivers), rather than
the current state where some interfaces are artificially limited
to INT_MAX at a time.

Treat plain zero clusters differently from allocated ones, so that
we can simplify the logic of checking whether an offset is present.
Do this by splitting QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO into two new enums,
QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN and QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOC.
I tried to arrange the enum so that we could use
'ret <= QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN' for all unallocated types, and
'ret >= QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOC' for allocated types, although
I didn't actually end up taking advantage of the layout.
In many cases, this leads to simpler code, by properly combining
cases (sometimes, both zero types pair together, other times,
plain zero is more like unallocated while allocated zero is more
like normal).

The metadata overlap checks introduced in a40f1c2add help detect
corruption in the qcow2 image by verifying that data writes don't
overlap with existing metadata sections.
The 'refcount-block' check in particular iterates over the refcount
table in order to get the addresses of all refcount blocks and check
that none of them overlap with the region where we want to write.
The problem with the refcount table is that since it always occupies
complete clusters its size is usually very big. With the default
values of cluster_size=64KB and refcount_bits=16 this table holds 8192
entries, each one of them enough to map 2GB worth of host clusters.
So unless we're using images with several TB of allocated data this
table is going to be mostly empty, and iterating over it is a waste of
CPU. If the storage backend is fast enough this can have an effect on
I/O performance.
This patch keeps the index of the last used (i.e. non-zero) entry in
the refcount table and updates it every time the table changes. The
refcount-block overlap check then uses that index instead of reading
the whole table.
In my tests with a 4GB qcow2 file stored in RAM this doubles the
amount of write IOPS.

The problem with excessive flushing was found by a couple of performance
tests:
- parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes)
- 32 cached writes + fsync at the end in a loop
For the first one results improved from 2.6 loops/sec to 3.5 loops/sec.
Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each.
For the second one results improved from ~600 fsync/sec to ~1100
fsync/sec. Though, it was run on SSD so it probably won't show such
performance gain on rotational media.
qcow2_cache_flush() calls bdrv_flush() unconditionally after writing
cache entries of a particular cache. This can lead to as many as
2 additional fdatasyncs inside bdrv_flush.
We can simply skip all fdatasync calls inside qcow2_co_flush_to_os
as bdrv_flush for sure will do the job. These flushes are necessary to
keep the right order of writes to the different caches. Though this is
not necessary in the current code base as this ordering is ensured through
the flush in qcow2_cache_flush_dependency().

Since refcounts do not always have to be a uint16_t, all refcount blocks
and arrays in memory should not have a specific type (thus they become
pointers to void) and for accessing them, two helper functions are used
(a getter and a setter). Those functions are called indirectly through
function pointers in the BDRVQcowState so they may later be exchanged
for different refcount orders.
With the check and repair functions using this function, the refcount
array they are creating will be in big endian byte order; additionally,
using realloc_refcount_array() makes the size of this refcount array
always cluster-aligned. Both combined allow rebuild_refcount_structure()
to drop the bounce buffer which was used to convert parts of the
refcount array to big endian byte order and store them on disk. Instead,
those parts can now be written directly.

Refcounts can theoretically be of type uint64_t; in order to be able to
represent the full range, qcow2_get_refcount() cannot use a single
variable to represent both all refcount values and also keep some values
reserved for errors.
One solution would be to add an Error pointer parameter to
qcow2_get_refcount(); however, no caller could (currently) pass that
error message, so it would have to be emitted immediately and be
passed to the next caller by returning -EIO or something similar.
Therefore, an Error parameter does not offer any advantages here.
The solution applied by this patch is simpler to use. Because no caller
would be able to pass the error message, they would have to print it and
free it, whereas with this patch the caller only needs to pass the
returned integer (which is often a no-op from the code perspective,
because that integer will be stored in a variable "ret" which will be
