qcow2: Inform block layer about discard boundaries
At the qcow2 layer, discard is only possible on a per-cluster
basis; at the moment, qcow2 silently rounds any unaligned
requests to this granularity. However, an upcoming patch will
fix a regression in the block layer ignoring too much of an
unaligned discard request, by changing the block layer to
break up a discard request at alignment boundaries; for that
to work, the block layer must know about our limits.
However, we can't go one step further by changing
qcow2_discard_clusters() to assert that requests are always
aligned, since that helper function is reached on paths
outside of the block layer.
