[pve-devel] [RFC qemu] vma: create: support 64KiB-unaligned input images

which fixes backing up templates with such disks in PVE, for example
efitype=4m EFI disks on a file-based storage (size = 540672).

If there is not enough left to read, blk_co_preadv will return -EIO,
so limit the size in the last iteration.

For writing, an unaligned end is already handled correctly.

The call to memset is not strictly necessary, because writing also
checks that it doesn't write data beyond the end of the image. But
there are two reasons to do it:
1. It's cleaner that way.
2. It allows detecting when the final piece is all zeroes, which might
   not happen if the buffer still contains data from the previous
   iteration.

RFC, because I'm no vma expert :)
