Zero clusters are similar to unallocated clusters except instead of reading
their value from a backing file when one is available, the cluster is always
read as zero.
This implements read support only. At this stage, QED will never write a
zero cluster.

Instead of just returning -ENOTSUP, generate a more detailed error.
Unfortunately we don't have a helpful text for features that we don't know yet,
so just print the feature mask. It might be useful at least if someone asks for
help.

The consistency check on open is necessary in order to fix inconsistent
table offsets left as a result of a crash mid-operation. Images with a
backing file actually flush before updating table offsets and are
therefore guaranteed to be consistent. Do not mark these images dirty.

QED relies on the underlying filesystem to extend the file and maintain
its size. Check that images are not created on a block device.

This patch adds support for the qemu-img check command. It also
introduces a dirty bit in the qed header to mark modified images as
needing a check. This bit is cleared when the image file is closed
cleanly.
If an image file is opened and it has the dirty bit set, a consistency
check will run and try to fix corrupted table offsets. These
corruptions may occur if there is power loss while an allocating write
is performed. Once the image is fixed it opens as normal again.

This patch implements the read/write state machine. Operations are
fully asynchronous and multiple operations may be active at any time.
Allocating writes lock tables to ensure metadata updates do not
interfere with each other. If two allocating writes need to update the
same L2 table they will run sequentially. If two allocating writes need
to update different L2 tables they will run in parallel.

This patch adds code to look up data cluster offsets in the image via
the L1/L2 tables. The L2 tables are writethrough cached in memory for
performance (each read/write requires a lookup so it is essential to
cache the tables).
With cluster lookup code in place it is possible to implement
bdrv_is_allocated() to query the number of contiguous
allocated/unallocated clusters.
