When the device have discard support and simultaneously discard zeroes
data (and it is properly advertised), then we can take advantage of such
behavior in several e2fsprogs tools.

Add new flag CHANNEL_FLAGS_DISCARD_ZEROES for struct_io_channel so
each io_manager can take advantage of this. The flag is properly set
according to BLKDISCARDZEROES ioctl in unix_open.

Also remove old mke2fs_discard_zeroes_data() function and substitute it
with helper which test this flag.

I merged this patch with a minor change; I renamed
ext2fs_discard_zeroes_data() to io_channel_discard_zeros_data().
