zstd significantly reduces cluster compression time.
It provides better compression performance maintaining
the same level of the compression ratio in comparison with
zlib, which, at the moment, is the only compression
method available.
The performance test results:
Test compresses and decompresses qemu qcow2 image with just
installed rhel-7.6 guest.
Image cluster size: 64K. Image on disk size: 2.2G
The test was conducted with brd disk to reduce the influence
of disk subsystem to the test results.
The results is given in seconds.
compress cmd:
time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -c -o compression_type=[zlib|zstd]
src.img [zlib|zstd]_compressed.img
decompress cmd
time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2
[zlib|zstd]_compressed.img uncompressed.img

Both ZLIB and ZSTD gave the same compression ratio: 1.57

On success path we return what inflate() returns instead of 0. And it
most probably works for Z_STREAM_END as it is positive, but is
definitely broken for Z_BUF_ERROR.
While being here, switch to errno return code, to be closer to
qcow2_compress API (and usual expectations).
Revert condition in if to be more positive. Drop dead initialization of
ret.

I/O requests to encrypted media should be aligned to the sector size
used by the underlying encryption method, not to BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE.
Fortunately this doesn't break anything at the moment because
both existing QCRYPTO_BLOCK_*_SECTOR_SIZE have the same value as
BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE.
The checks in qcow2_co_preadv_encrypted() are also unnecessary because
they are repeated immediately afterwards in qcow2_co_encdec().

* Change the qcow2_co_{encrypt|decrypt} to just receive full host and
guest offsets and use this function directly instead of calling
do_perform_cow_encrypt (which is removed by that patch).
* Adjust qcow2_co_encdec to take full host and guest offsets as well.
* Document the qcow2_co_{encrypt|decrypt} arguments
to prevent the bug fixed in former commit from hopefully
happening again.
