nbd: Implement NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES on client
Upstream NBD protocol recently added the ability to efficiently
write zeroes without having to send the zeroes over the wire,
along with a flag to control whether the client wants a hole.
The generic block code takes care of falling back to the obvious
write of lots of zeroes if we return -ENOTSUP because the server
does not have WRITE_ZEROES.
Ideally, since NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES does not involve any data
over the wire, we want to support transactions that are much
larger than the normal 32M limit imposed on NBD_CMD_WRITE. But
the server may still have a limit smaller than UINT_MAX, so
until experimental NBD protocol additions for advertising various
command sizes is finalized (see [1], [2]), for now we just stick to
the same limits as normal writes.
