[PATCH 11/17] file-posix: Support BDRV_ZERO_OPEN

[Eric Blake]

A single lseek(SEEK_DATA) is sufficient to tell us if a raw file is
completely sparse, in which case it reads as all zeroes.  Not done
here, but possible extension for the future: when working with block
devices instead of files, there may be various ways with ioctl or
similar to quickly probe if a given block device is known to be
completely unmapped where unmapped regions read as zero.  But for now,
block devices remain without a .bdrv_known_zeroes, because most block
devices have random content without an explicit pre-zeroing pass.
