block: vhdx - change .vhdx_create default block state to ZERO
The VHDX spec specifies that the default new block state is
PAYLOAD_BLOCK_NOT_PRESENT for a dynamic VHDX image, and
PAYLOAD_BLOCK_FULLY_PRESENT for a fixed VHDX image.
However, in order to create space-efficient VHDX images with qemu-img
convert, it is desirable to be able to set has_zero_init to true for
VHDX.
There is currently an option when creating VHDX images, to use block
state ZERO for new blocks. However, this currently defaults to 'off'.
In order to be able to eventually set has_zero_init to true for VHDX,
this needs to default to 'on'.
This patch changes the default to 'on', and provides some help
information to warn against setting it to 'off' when using qemu-img
convert.
[Max Reitz pointed out that a full stop was missing at the end of the
VHDX_BLOCK_OPT_ZERO option help text. I have added it.
