is_zero_cluster() and is_zero_cluster_top_locked() are used only
by qcow2_co_write_zeroes(). The former is too broad (we don't
care if the sectors we are about to overwrite are non-zero, only
that all other sectors in the cluster are zero), so it needs to
be called up to twice but with smaller limits - rename it along
with adding the neeeded parameter. The latter can be inlined for
more compact code.
The testsuite change shows that we now have a sparser top file
when an unaligned write_zeroes overwrites the only portion of
the backing file with data.
Based on a patch proposal by Denis V. Lunev.

Add another test to 154, showing that we currently allocate a
data cluster in the top layer if any sector of the backing file
was allocated. The next patch will optimize this case.

We should split requests even if they are less than write_zeroes_alignment.
For example we can have the following request:
offset 62k
size 4k
write_zeroes_alignment 64k
The original code sent 1 request covering 2 qcow2 clusters, and resulted
in both clusters being allocated. But by splitting the request, we can
cater to the case where one of the two clusters can be zeroed as a
whole, for only 1 cluster allocated after the operation.

This covers some more write_zeroes cases which are relevant for the
recent qcow2 optimisations that check the allocation status of the
backing file for partial cluster write_zeroes requests.
This needs to be separate from 034 because we can only support qcow2 in
this test case for multiple reasons: We check the allocation status
after write_zeroes with 'qemu-img map' and the optimised behaviour that
produces zero clusters is only implemented in qcow2; second, the map
command returns offsets that are qcow2 specific; and finally, we also
use 512 byte clusters which aren't supported for formats like qed.
