21df65b644 qed: Add support for zero clusters
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.

298800cae7 qed: Table, L2 cache, and cluster functions
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.
