block/io: support int64_t bytes in bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes()


We are generally moving to int64_t for both offset and bytes parameters
on all io paths.

Main motivation is realization of 64-bit write_zeroes operation for
fast zeroing large disk chunks, up to the whole disk.

We chose signed type, to be consistent with off_t (which is signed) and
with possibility for signed return type (where negative value means
error).

So, prepare bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes() now.

Callers are safe, as converting int to int64_t is safe. Concentrate on
'bytes' usage in the function (thx to Eric Blake):

    compute 'int tail' via % 'int alignment' - safe
    fragmentation loop 'int num' - still fragments with a cap on
      max_transfer

    use of 'num' within the loop
    MIN(bytes, max_transfer) as well as %alignment - still works, so
         calculations in if (head) {} are safe
    clamp size by 'int max_write_zeroes' - safe
    drv->bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes(int) - safe because of clamping
    clamp size by 'int max_transfer' - safe
    buf allocation is still clamped to max_transfer
    qemu_iovec_init_buf(size_t) - safe because of clamping
    bdrv_driver_pwritev(uint64_t) - safe
