nbd: Prepare for NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZERO
Commit fe0480d6 and friends added BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK as a way to avoid wasting time on a preliminary write-zero request that will later be rewritten by actual data, if it is known that the write-zero request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize for NBD. The NBD specification is now considering an extension that will allow passing on those semantics; this patch updates the new protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when present, and the server to advertise support for it. The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to other actions like a normal write request). However, clients that get an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information. We were equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.
