This test verifies two mirroring issues are fixed with resized images:
* sync='top' creates an image that is the proper size
* sync='full' doesn't cause an assertion failure and crash qemu

This makes sense when the next commit starts using the extra buffer space
to perform many I/O operations asynchronously.

When mirroring runs, the backing files for the target may not yet be
ready. However, this means that a copy-on-write operation on the target
would fill the missing sectors with zeros. Copy-on-write only happens
if the granularity of the dirty bitmap is smaller than the cluster size
(and only for clusters that are allocated in the source after the job
has started copying). So far, the granularity was fixed to 1MB; to avoid
the problem we detected the situation and required the backing files to
be available in that case only.
However, we want to lower the granularity for efficiency, so we need
a better solution. The solution is to always copy a whole cluster the
first time it is touched. The code keeps a bitmap of clusters that
have already been allocated by the mirroring job, and only does "manual"
copy-on-write if the chunk being copied is zero in the bitmap.

The new options are tested with blkdebug on both the source and the
target.
