bdrv_co_block_status_above has several design problems with handling
short backing files:

1. With want_zeros=true, it may return ret with BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO but
without BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED flag, when actually short backing file
which produces these after-EOF zeros is inside requested backing
sequence.

2. With want_zero=false, it may return pnum=0 prior to actual EOF,
because of EOF of short backing file.

Fix these things, making logic about short backing files clearer.

With fixed bdrv_block_status_above we also have to improve is_zero in
qcow2 code, otherwise iotest 154 will fail, because with this patch we
stop to merge zeros of different types (produced by fully unallocated
in the whole backing chain regions vs produced by short backing files).

Note also, that this patch leaves for another day the general problem
around block-status: misuse of BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED as is-fs-allocated
vs go-to-backing.
