qcow2: skip writing zero buffers to empty COW areas
If COW areas of the newly allocated clusters are zeroes on the backing
image, efficient bdrv_write_zeroes(flags=BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK) can be
used on the whole cluster instead of writing explicit zero buffers later
in perform_cow().
iotest 060:
write to the discarded cluster does not trigger COW anymore.
Use a backing image instead.
