Zero writes are a dedicated interface for writing regions of zeroes into
the image file. If clusters are not yet allocated it is possible to use
an efficient metadata representation which keeps the image file compact
and does not store individual zero bytes.
Implementing this for the QED image format is fairly straightforward.
The only issue is that when a zero write touches an existing cluster we
have to allocate a bounce buffer and perform a regular write.

Per-request attributes like read/write are currently implemented as bool
fields in the QEDAIOCB struct. This becomes unwiedly as the number of
attributes grows. For example, the qed_aio_setup() function would have
to take multiple bool arguments and at call sites it would be hard to
distinguish the meaning of each bool.
Instead use a flags field with bitmask constants. This will be used
when zero write support is added.

The bdrv_qed_is_allocated() function is a synchronous wrapper around
qed_find_cluster(), which performs the cluster lookup. In order to
convert the synchronous function to a coroutine function we yield
instead of using qemu_aio_wait(). Note that QED's cache is already safe
for parallel requests so no locking is needed.

QED's metadata caching strategy allows two parallel requests to race for
metadata lookup. The first one to complete will populate the metadata
cache and the second one will drop the data it just read in favor of the
cached data.
There is a use-after-free in qed_read_l2_table_cb() and
qed_commit_l2_update() where l2_table->offset was used after the
l2_table may have been freed due to a metadata lookup race. Fix this by
keeping the l2_offset in a local variable and not reaching into the
possibly freed l2_table.

The purpose of AsyncContexts was to protect qcow and qcow2 against reentrancy
during an emulated bdrv_read/write (which includes a qemu_aio_wait() call and
can run AIO callbacks of different requests if it weren't for AsyncContexts).
Now both qcow and qcow2 are protected by CoMutexes and AsyncContexts can be
removed.

When not specifying a cluster size on the command line, qemu-img printed
a cluster size of 0:
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=67108864

that it displays the default value that is used.

One strategy to limit the startup delay of consistency check when
opening image files is to ensure that the file is marked dirty for as
little time as possible.
QED currently marks the image dirty when the first allocating write
request is issued and clears the dirty bit again when the image is
cleanly closed. In practice that means the image is marked dirty for
most of a guest's lifetime and prone to being in a dirty state upon
crash or power failure.
It is safe to clear the dirty bit after all allocating write requests
have completed and a flush has been performed. This patch adds a timer
after the last allocating write request completes. When the timer fires
it will flush and then clear the dirty bit. The timer is set to 5
seconds and is cancelled upon arrival of a new allocating write request.

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.

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.

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.
