file-posix: Clear out first sector in hdev_create
People get surprised when, after "qemu-img create -f raw /dev/sdX", they
still see qcow2 with "qemu-img info", if previously the bdev had a qcow2
header. While this is natural because raw doesn't need to write any
magic bytes during creation, hdev_create is free to clear out the first
sector to make sure the stale qcow2 header doesn't cause such confusion.
