block: Document supported flags during bdrv_aligned_preadv()

Browse Source 
We don't pass any flags on to drivers to handle.  Tighten an
assert to explain why we pass 0 to bdrv_driver_preadv(), and add
some comments on things to be aware of if we want to turn on
per-BDS BDRV_REQ_FUA support during reads in the future.  Also,
document that we may want to consider using unmap during
copy-on-read operations where the read is all zeroes.
