If the remote is a regular file, set it to true (ie. reads of
uninitialized areas in a newly created file will return zeroes).
If we can't prove that, return false (a safe default).
Tested by adding a debugging print statement [not part of this commit]
and creating a remote file and a remote block device:
$ ./qemu-img create ssh://localhost/tmp/new 100M
Formatting 'ssh://localhost/tmp/new', fmt=raw size=104857600
filename ssh://localhost/tmp/new: has_zero_init = 1
$ sudo lvcreate -L 1G -n tmp /dev/fedora
Logical volume "tmp" created
$ ./qemu-img create ssh://localhost/dev/fedora/tmp 1G
Formatting 'ssh://localhost/dev/fedora/tmp', fmt=raw size=1073741824
filename ssh://localhost/dev/fedora/tmp: has_zero_init = 0
