blockdev-mirror: More efficient handling of sparse mirrors

Merge Request Required Information

Summary of Changes

Fix block mirroring to have more control over the allocation patterns of the destination (whether a user wants it to be sparse or fully allocated), along with a knob the user can set to optimize if the destination reads as zero but QEMU can't efficiently discover that fact.
