Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/maxreitz/tags/pull-block-2020-12-18' into staging

Block patches:
- New block filter: preallocate (which, on writes beyond an image file's
  end, allocates big chunks of data so that such post-EOF writes will
  occur less frequently)
- write-zeroes and block-status support for Quorum
- Implementation of truncate for the nvme block driver similarly to the
  existing implementations for host block devices and iscsi devices
- Block layer refactoring: Drop the tighten_restrictions concept in the
  block permission functions
- iotest fixes
