qemu-img: Speed up comparing empty/zero images

Two empty raw files are always compared by actually reading data even if
there is no data, because BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO is considered "allocated" in
bdrv_is_allocated_above().  That is inefficient.

Use bdrv_get_block_status_above() for more information, and skip the
consecutive zero sectors.

This brings a huge speed up in comparing sparse/empty raw images:

    $ qemu-img create a 1G

    $ time ~/build/master/bin/qemu-img compare a a
    Images are identical.

    real    0m6.583s
    user    0m0.191s
    sys     0m6.367s

    $ time qemu-img compare a a
    Images are identical.

    real    0m0.033s
    user    0m0.003s
    sys     0m0.031s
