block: Expand block status mode from bool to flags

This patch is purely mechanical, changing bool want_zero into an
unsigned int for bitwise-or of flags.  As of this patch, all
implementations are unchanged (the old want_zero==true is now
mode==BDRV_WANT_PRECISE which is a superset of BDRV_WANT_ZERO); but
the callers in io.c that used to pass want_zero==false are now
prepared for future driver changes that can now distinguish bewteen
BDRV_WANT_ZERO vs. BDRV_WANT_ALLOCATED.  The next patch will actually
change the file-posix driver along those lines, now that we have
more-specific hints.

As for the background why this patch is useful: right now, the
file-posix driver recognizes that if allocation is being queried, the
entire image can be reported as allocated (there is no backing file to
refer to) - but this throws away information on whether the entire
image reads as zero (trivially true if lseek(SEEK_HOLE) at offset 0
returns -ENXIO, a bit more complicated to prove if the raw file was
created with 'qemu-img create' since we intentionally allocate a small
chunk of all-zero data to help with alignment probing).  Later patches
will add a generic algorithm for seeing if an entire file reads as
zeroes.
