Eric Blake e24d813b29 block: Simplify bdrv_can_write_zeroes_with_unmap()
We don't need the can_write_zeroes_with_unmap field in
BlockDriverInfo, because it is redundant information with
supported_zero_flags & BDRV_REQ_MAY_UNMAP.  Note that
BlockDriverInfo and supported_zero_flags are both per-device
settings, rather than global state about the driver as a
whole, which means one or both of these bits of information
can already be conditional.  Let's audit how they were set:

crypto: always setting can_write_ to false is pointless (the
struct starts life zero-initialized), no use of supported_

nbd: just recently fixed to set can_write_ if supported_
includes MAY_UNMAP (thus this commit effectively reverts
bca80059e and solves the problem mentioned there in a more
global way)

file-posix, iscsi, qcow2: can_write_ is conditional, while
supported_ was unconditional; but passing MAY_UNMAP would
fail with ENOTSUP if the condition wasn't met

qed: can_write_ is unconditional, but pwrite_zeroes lacks
support for MAY_UNMAP and supported_ is not set. Perhaps
support can be added later (since it would be similar to
qcow2), but for now claiming false is no real loss

all other drivers: can_write_ is not set, and supported_ is
either unset or a passthrough

Simplify the code by moving the conditional into
supported_zero_flags for all drivers, then dropping the
now-unused BDI field.  For callers that relied on
bdrv_can_write_zeroes_with_unmap(), we return the same
per-device settings for drivers that had conditions (no
observable change in behavior there); and can now return
true (instead of false) for drivers that support passthrough
(for example, the commit driver) which gives those drivers
the same fix as nbd just got in bca80059e.  For callers that
relied on supported_zero_flags, we now have a few more places
that can avoid a wasted call to pwrite_zeroes() that will
just fail with ENOTSUP.
