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.
Changes since v1:
- Rebase after struct rw refactoring
- Fix block device checks
- Improve formatting (Rich)

New subject: [PATCH libnbd v2 2/3] copy: Do not use trim for zeroing
Current code uses NBD_CMD_TRIM for writing zeroes without allocating
space (--allocate not specified). This incorrect and can lead to
corrupting the target image.
NBD manual warns about NBD_CMD_TRIM:
After issuing this command, a client MUST NOT make any assumptions
about the contents of the export affected by this command, until
overwriting it again with NBD_CMD_WRITE or NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES
Add allocate flag to the zero operation, to allow zeroing by punching
hole (default) or zeroing by allocating space.
nbd-ops use NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES with or without NBD_FLAG_NO_HOLE
flag. file-ops use fallocate with PUNCH_HOLE or ZERO_RANGE flag.
The copy-sparse tests was modified to require zero operation with
may_trim flag.

Did you post the wrong version of this patch? I notice it still has
the *_trim methods.
I planned to remove the trim methods later, but looks like it is better to
remove them before this patch. Will send v3 soon.

New subject: [PATCH libnbd v2 3/3] copy/file-ops.c: Port zero strategy from nbdkit
Port the zero strategy from nbdkit file plugin, improving the
reliability and compatibility with block devices on modern kernels.
Local rw have now capability flags: can_punch_hole, can_zero_range,
can_fallocate, and can_zeroout. The flags are initialized based on the
type of the file descriptor and compile time checks:
- For regular file, we enable can_punch_hole, can_zero_range, and
can_fallocate.
- For block device, we enable can_punch_hole, can_zero_range, an
can_zeroout.
- For pipes and sockets we don't enable anything.
When calling zero() in the first time, we try the following methods,
returning on the first success:
- If don't need to allocate, try to punch a hole.
- Try to zero the range
- Try to combine punching a hole and fallocate
- Try BLKZEROOUT ioctl
If a method is not supported, we disable the capability flag, so the
next call can try only what works.
The fallocate and ioctl wrappers return false when the call is not
supported by the underlying storage so we can disable the capability.
Previously the process would exit with an error.
