[PATCH 9/9] virfdstream: Emulate skip for block devices
This is similar to one of previous patches.
When receiving stream (on virStorageVolUpload() and subsequent
virStreamSparseSendAll()) we may receive a hole. If the volume we
are saving the incoming data into is a regular file we just
lseek() and ftruncate() to create the hole. But this won't work
if the file is a block device. If that is the case we must write
zeroes so that any subsequent reader reads nothing just zeroes
(just like they would from a hole in a regular file).
