Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to
newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance.
Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad
performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are
two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then
all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.
This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW
per file.
For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we
can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only.
But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are
creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting
NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.

.has_zero_init defaults to 1 for all formats and protocols.
this is a dangerous default since this means that all
new added drivers need to manually overwrite it to 0 if
they do not ensure that a device is zero initialized
after bdrv_create().
if a driver needs to explicitly set this value to
1 its easier to verify the correctness in the review process.
during review of the existing drivers it turned out
that ssh and gluster had a wrong default of 1.
both protocols support host_devices as backend
which are not by default zero initialized. this
wrong assumption will lead to possible corruption
if qemu-img convert is used to write to such a backend.
vpc and vmdk also defaulted to 1 altough they support
fixed respectively flat extends. this has to be addresses
in separate patches. both formats as well as the mentioned
ssh and gluster are turned to the default of 0 with this
patch for safety.
a similar problem with the wrong default existed for
iscsi most likely because the driver developer did
oversee the default value of 1.

It's poor symbol hygiene to provide a global symbols that collide with a
common library like libuuid. If QEMU links against a shared library
that depends on uuid_generate() it can end up calling our stub version
of the function.
This exact scenario happened with GlusterFS libgfapi.so, which depends
on libglusterfs.so's uuid_generate().
Scope the uuid stubs for vdi.c only and avoid affecting other shared
objects.

The new block was filled with zero when it was allocated by g_malloc0,
but when it was reused later and only partially used, data from the
previously allocated block were still present and written to the new
block.
This caused the problems reported by bug #919242
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/919242).
Now the unused parts of the new block which are before and after the data
are always filled with zero, so it is no longer necessary to zero the whole
block with g_malloc0.
