Define the return value of get_block_status.  Bits 0, 1, 2 and 9-62
are valid; bit 63 (the sign bit) is reserved for errors.  Bits 3-7
are left for future extensions.

The return code is compatible with the old is_allocated API: returning
just 0 or 1 (aka BDRV_BLOCK_DATA) will not cause any behavioral change
in clients of is_allocated.  We will return more precise information
in the next patches.

i do also not understand the "((ret & BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO) && 
!bdrv_has_zero_init(bs))";
if a block is unallocated and reads as zero, but the device lacks zero init, it
is declared as allocated with this, isn't it?

for iscsi and host_device with lbprz==1 or discardzeroes respectively all
blocks would return as allocated. is this wanted?
