block: Read only one sector for format probing
The only image format driver that even potentially accesses anything after 512 bytes in its bdrv_probe() implementation is VMDK, which reads a plain-text descriptor file. In practice, the field it's looking for seems to come first and will be well within the first 512 bytes, too.
