Zero clusters are similar to unallocated clusters except instead of reading
their value from a backing file when one is available, the cluster is always
read as zero.
This implements read support only. At this stage, QED will never write a
zero cluster.

This patch adds code to look up data cluster offsets in the image via
the L1/L2 tables. The L2 tables are writethrough cached in memory for
performance (each read/write requires a lookup so it is essential to
cache the tables).
With cluster lookup code in place it is possible to implement
bdrv_is_allocated() to query the number of contiguous
allocated/unallocated clusters.
