block: split write_zeroes always



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.

loop, and update testsuite to show that patch works]
