Alberto Garcia 3441ad4bc4 qcow2: Document and enforce the QCowL2Meta invariants
The QCowL2Meta structure is used to store information about a part of
a write request that touches clusters that need changes in their L2
entries. This happens with newly-allocated clusters or subclusters.

This structure has changed a bit since it was first created and its
current documentation is not quite up-to-date.

A write request can span a region consisting of a combination of
clusters of different types, and qcow2_alloc_host_offset() can
repeatedly call handle_copied() and handle_alloc() to add more
clusters to the mix as long as they all are contiguous on the image
file.

Because of this a write request has a list of QCowL2Meta structures,
one for each part of the request that needs changes in the L2
metadata.

Each one of them spans nb_clusters and has two copy-on-write regions
located immediately before and after the middle region touched by that
part of the write request. Even when those regions themselves are
empty their offsets must be correct because they are used to know the
location of the middle region.

This was not always the case but it is not a problem anymore
because the only two places where QCowL2Meta structures are created
(calculate_l2_meta() and qcow2_co_truncate()) ensure that the
copy-on-write regions are correctly defined, and so do assertions like
the ones in perform_cow().

The conditional initialization of the 'written_to' variable is
therefore unnecessary and is removed by this patch.
