During mirror, if the target device does not support zero init, a
mirror may result in a corrupted image for sync="full" mode.
This is due to how the initial dirty bitmap is set up prior to copying
data - we did not mark sectors as dirty that are unallocated. This
means those unallocated sectors are skipped over on the target, and for
a device without zero init, invalid data may reside in those holes.
If both of the following conditions are true, then we will explicitly
mark all sectors as dirty:
1.) sync = "full"
2.) bdrv_has_zero_init(target) == false
If the target does support zero init, but a target image is passed in
with data already present (i.e. an "existing" image), it is assumed the
data present in the existing image is valid data for those sectors.
