copy-before-write: allow specifying minimum cluster size

In the context of backup fleecing, discarding the source will not work
when the fleecing image has a larger granularity than the one used for
block-copy operations (can happen if the backup target has smaller
cluster size), because cbw_co_pdiscard_snapshot() will align down the
discard requests and thus effectively ignore then.

To make @discard-source work in such a scenario, allow specifying the
minimum cluster size used for block-copy operations and thus in
particular also the granularity for discard requests to the source.

The type 'size' (corresponding to uint64_t in C) is used in QAPI to
rule out negative inputs and for consistency with already existing
@cluster-size parameters. Since block_copy_calculate_cluster_size()
uses int64_t for its result, a check that the input is not too large
is added in block_copy_state_new() before calling it. The calculation
in block_copy_calculate_cluster_size() is done in the target int64_t
type.
