block: Perform copy-on-read in loop

Browse Source 
Improve our braindead copy-on-read implementation.  Pre-patch,
we have multiple issues:
- we create a bounce buffer and perform a write for the entire
request, even if the active image already has 99% of the
clusters occupied, and really only needs to copy-on-read the
remaining 1% of the clusters
- our bounce buffer was as large as the read request, and can
needlessly exhaust our memory by using double the memory of
the request size (the original request plus our bounce buffer),
rather than a capped maximum overhead beyond the original
- if a driver has a max_transfer limit, we are bypassing the
normal code in bdrv_aligned_preadv() that fragments to that
limit, and instead attempt to read the entire buffer from the
driver in one go, which some drivers may assert on
- a client can request a large request of nearly 2G such that
rounding the request out to cluster boundaries results in a
byte count larger than 2G.  While this cannot exceed 32 bits,
it DOES have some follow-on problems:
-- the call to bdrv_driver_pread() can assert for exceeding
BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_BYTES, if the driver is old and lacks
.bdrv_co_preadv
-- if the buffer is all zeroes, the subsequent call to
bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes is a no-op due to a negative size,
which means we did not actually copy on read

Fix all of these issues by breaking up the action into a loop,
where each iteration is capped to sane limits.  Also, querying
the allocation status allows us to optimize: when data is
already present in the active layer, we don't need to bounce.

Note that the code has a telling comment that copy-on-read
should probably be a filter driver rather than a bolt-on hack
in io.c; but that remains a task for another day.
