qcow2: Discard unaligned tail when wiping image
There is a subtle difference between the fast (qcow2v3 with no extra data) and slow path (qcow2v2 format [aka 0.10], or when a snapshot is present) of qcow2_make_empty(). The slow path fails to discard the final (partial) cluster of an unaligned image. The problem stems from the fact that qcow2_discard_clusters() was silently ignoring sub-cluster head and tail on unaligned requests. A quick audit of all callers shows that qcow2_snapshot_create() has always passed a cluster-aligned request since the call was added in commit 1ebf561c; qcow2_co_pdiscard() has passed a cluster-aligned request since commit ecdbead6 taught the block layer about preferred discard alignment; and qcow2_make_empty() was fixed to pass an aligned start (but not necessarily end) in commit a3e1505d. Asserting that the start is always aligned also points out that we now have a dead check: rounding the end offset down can never result in a value less than the aligned start offset (the check was rendered dead with commit ecdbead6). Meanwhile, we do not want to round the end cluster down in the one case of the end offset matching the (unaligned) file size - that final partial cluster should still be discarded. With those fixes in place, the fast and slow paths are back in sync at discarding an entire image; the next patch will update qemu-iotests to ensure we don't regress. Note that bdrv_co_pdiscard ignores ALL partial cluster requests, including the partial cluster at the end of an image; it can be argued that the partial cluster at the end should be special-cased so that a guest issuing discard requests at proper alignments everywhere else can likewise empty the entire image. But that optimization is left for another day.
