[Libguestfs] [PATCH libnbd 0/2] Improve zero correctness, reliability and compatibility

Don't use trim() for zeroing. NBD_CMD_TRIM does not guarantee anything about the content of the trimmed range. Add allocate flag to zero(), so it can be used both for sparse and allocated copy. The zero strategy was less advanced than what we have in nbdkit file plugin. Port the zero strategy from the file plugin, improving reliability and compatibility. Tested with loop devices, local files, and qemu-nbd.
