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.
