[PULL 30/31] block: drop unallocated_blocks_are_zero

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>

Currently this field only set by qed and qcow2. But in fact, all
backing-supporting formats (parallels, qcow, qcow2, qed, vmdk) share
these semantics: on unallocated blocks, if there is no backing file they
just memset the buffer with zeroes.

So, document this behavior for .supports_backing and drop
.unallocated_blocks_are_zero
