qemu-iotests: add tests for rebasing zero clusters

If zero clusters are erroneously treated as unallocated, "qemu-img rebase"
will copy the backing file's contents onto the cluster.

The bug existed also in image streaming, but since the root cause was in
qcow2's is_allocated implementation it is enough to test it with qemu-img.

It only adds a test for something that was fixed in 1.4.1 (maybe was fixed by the final 1.4.0 release I can't recall).
