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().

Another step towards removing sector-based interfaces: convert
the maximum write and minimum alignment values from sectors to
bytes. Rename the variables to let the compiler check that all
users are converted to the new semantics.
The maximum remains an int as long as BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_SECTORS
is constrained by INT_MAX (this means that we can't even
support a 2G write_zeroes, but just under it) - changing
operation lengths to unsigned or to 64-bits is a much bigger
audit, and debatable if we even want to do it (since at the
core, a 32-bit platform will still have ssize_t as its
underlying limit on write()).
Meanwhile, alignment is changed to 'uint32_t', since it makes no
sense to have an alignment larger than the maximum write, and
less painful to use an unsigned type with well-defined behavior
in bit operations than to have to worry about what happens if
a driver mistakenly supplies a negative alignment.
Add an assert that no one was trying to use sectors to get a
write zeroes larger than 2G, and therefore that a later conversion
to bytes won't be impacted by keeping the limit at 32 bits.

is_zero_cluster() and is_zero_cluster_top_locked() are used only
by qcow2_co_write_zeroes(). The former is too broad (we don't
care if the sectors we are about to overwrite are non-zero, only
that all other sectors in the cluster are zero), so it needs to
be called up to twice but with smaller limits - rename it along
with adding the neeeded parameter. The latter can be inlined for
more compact code.
The testsuite change shows that we now have a sparser top file
when an unaligned write_zeroes overwrites the only portion of
the backing file with data.

We should split requests even if they are less than write_zeroes_alignment.
For example we can have the following request:
offset 62k
size 4k
write_zeroes_alignment 64k
The original code sent 1 request covering 2 qcow2 clusters, and resulted
in both clusters being allocated. But by splitting the request, we can
cater to the case where one of the two clusters can be zeroed as a
whole, for only 1 cluster allocated after the operation.

This adds a new BlockBackend field to the BlockJob struct, which
coexists with the BlockDriverState while converting the individual jobs.
When creating a block job, a new BlockBackend is created on top of the
given BlockDriverState, and it is destroyed when the BlockJob ends. The
reference to the BDS is now held by the BlockBackend instead of calling
bdrv_ref/unref manually.
We have to be careful when we use bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() in
block jobs because this changes the BDS that job->blk points to. At the
moment block jobs are too tightly coupled with their BDS, so that moving
a job to another BDS isn't easily possible; therefore, we need to just
manually undo this change afterwards.

When changing the BlockDriverState that a BdrvChild points to while the

callback. Conversely, when this means attaching a new node that is
already drained, we need to call .drained_begin().
bdrv_root_attach_child() takes now an opaque parameter, which is needed
because the callbacks must also be called if we're attaching a new child
to the BlockBackend when the root node is already drained, and they need
a way to identify the BlockBackend. Previously, child->opaque was set
