Subject: [PATCH 2/7] e2fsprogs: Add discard_zeroes_data into struct_io_manager

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 variable discard_zeroes_data into struct_io_manager structure so
each io_manager can take advantage of this. Set it to 0 by default in
unix_io_manager and test_io_manager and fill it with BLKDISCARDZEROES
ioctl in unix_open.

Every other io_manager which would like to take advantage of this should
set the default to 0 in its io_manager definition and then check and set
the value preferably in *_open() function.
