Nir Soffer d05ae948cc Consider discard option when writing zeros
When opening an image with discard=off, we punch hole in the image when
writing zeroes, making the image sparse. This breaks users that want to
ensure that writes cannot fail with ENOSPACE by using fully allocated
images[1].

bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() correctly disables BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP if we
opened the child without discard=unmap or discard=on. But we don't go
through this function when accessing the top node. Move the check down
to bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes() which seems to be used in all code paths.

This change implements the documented behavior, punching holes only when
opening the image with discard=on or discard=unmap. This may not be the
best default but can improve it later.

The test depends on a file system supporting discard, deallocating the
entire file when punching hole with the length of the entire file.
Tested with xfs, ext4, and tmpfs.
