bdrv_truncate() is an operation that can block (even for a quite long
time, depending on the PreallocMode) in I/O paths that shouldn't block.
Convert it to a coroutine_fn so that we have the infrastructure for
drivers to make their .bdrv_co_truncate implementation asynchronous.
This change could potentially introduce new race conditions because
bdrv_truncate() isn't necessarily executed atomically any more. Whether
this is a problem needs to be evaluated for each block driver that
supports truncate:
* file-posix/win32, gluster, iscsi, nfs, rbd, ssh, sheepdog: The
protocol drivers are trivially safe because they don't actually yield
yet, so there is no change in behaviour.
* copy-on-read, crypto, raw-format: Essentially just filter drivers that
pass the request to a child node, no problem.
* qcow2: The implementation modifies metadata, so it needs to hold
s->lock to be safe with concurrent I/O requests. In order to avoid
double locking, this requires pulling the locking out into
preallocate_co() and using qcow2_write_caches() instead of
bdrv_flush().
* qed: Does a single header update, this is fine without locking.

Update the rest of the filter drivers to support
BDRV_REQ_WRITE_UNCHANGED. They already forward write request flags to
their children, so we just have to announce support for it.
This patch does not cover the replication driver because that currently
does not support flags at all, and because it just grabs the WRITE
permission for its children when it can, so we should be fine just
submitting the incoming WRITE_UNCHANGED requests as normal writes.
It also does not cover format drivers for similar reasons. They all use
bdrv_format_default_perms() as their .bdrv_child_perm() implementation
so they just always grab the WRITE permission for their file children
whenever possible. In addition, it often would be difficult to
ascertain whether incoming unchanging writes end up as unchanging writes
in their files. So we just leave them as normal potentially changing
writes.

This adds a simple copy-on-read filter driver. It relies on the already
existing COR functionality in the central block layer code, which may be
moved here once we no longer need it there.
