kvm tools, qcow: Add support for writing to zero refcount clusters
This patch adds support for writing to zero refcount clusters. Refcount blocks
are cached in like L2 tables and flushed upon VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH and when
evicted from the LRU cache.
With this patch applied, 'qemu-img check' no longer complains about referenced
clusters with zero reference count after
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/tmp
where '/mnt' is freshly generated QCOW2 image.
