Stefan Hajnoczi d704a13d2c block: use pwrite_zeroes_alignment when writing first sector ...

Since commit 5634622bcb ("file-posix: allow BLKZEROOUT with -t
writeback"), qemu-img create errors out on a Linux loop block device
with a 4 KB sector size:

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=blockfile bs=1M count=1024
  # losetup --sector-size 4096 /dev/loop0 blockfile
  # qemu-img create -f raw /dev/loop0 1G
  Formatting '/dev/loop0', fmt=raw size=1073741824
  qemu-img: /dev/loop0: Failed to clear the new image's first sector: Invalid argument

Use the pwrite_zeroes_alignment block limit to avoid misaligned
fallocate(2) or ioctl(BLKZEROOUT) in the block/file-posix.c block
driver.
