Alberto Garcia bf3d78ae55 qcow2: Stop overwriting compressed clusters one by one 
handle_alloc() tries to find as many contiguous clusters that need
copy-on-write as possible in order to allocate all of them at the same
time.

However, compressed clusters are only overwritten one by one, so let's
say that we have an image with 1024 consecutive compressed clusters:

   qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd.qcow2 64M
   for f in `seq 0 64 65472`; do
      qemu-io -c "write -c ${f}k 64k" hd.qcow2
   done

In this case trying to overwrite the whole image with one large write
request results in 1024 separate allocations:

   qemu-io -c "write 0 64M" hd.qcow2

This restriction comes from commit 095a9c58ce from 2008.
Nowadays QEMU can overwrite multiple compressed clusters just fine,
and in fact it already does: as long as the first cluster that
handle_alloc() finds is not compressed, all other compressed clusters
in the same batch will be overwritten in one go:

   qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd.qcow2 64M
   qemu-io -c "write -z 0 64k" hd.qcow2
   for f in `seq 64 64 65472`; do
      qemu-io -c "write -c ${f}k 64k" hd.qcow2
   done

Compared to the previous one, overwriting this image on my computer
goes from 8.35s down to 230ms.
