Move decompression of compressed QCOW2 clusters out of the metadata
lock. Previously, reading a compressed cluster acquired a write lock
on metadata to perform in place decompression. Now, try_map_read
extracts the compressed layout (host offset, size) under a read lock
and returns it in the ClusterReadMapping::Compressed variant. Each
consumer (QcowSync, QcowAsync, Qcow2Backing, QcowFile) performs the
pread and decompression at the call site without holding any lock,
using the pread_alloc and decompress_cluster helpers.
Create the decoder once in QcowMetadata as Arc<dyn Decoder> and
share it via Arc::clone to QcowAsync, QcowSync, and Qcow2Backing
at construction time. This avoids per read RwLock acquisitions and
heap allocations. Add Send + Sync bounds to the Decoder trait.
This eliminates write lock contention on compressed reads, allowing
them to proceed concurrently with other read operations.

Add support of reading and writing compressed clusters.
Support zlib and zstd compressions.
L2 cache: store entire L2 entries, not only standard cluster addresses.
Read path. Offsets of compressed clusters cannot be determined,
therefore replace QcowFile.file_offset_read() with QcowFile.file_read().
This method reads the cluster, decompresses it if necessary and returns
the data to the caller.
Write path. QcowFile.file_offset_write(): since writing to compressed
clusters is not generally possible, allocate a new standard
(non-compressed) cluster if compressed L2 entry is encountered; then
decompress compressed cluster into new cluster; then return offset
inside new cluster to the caller. Processing of standard clusters is
not changed.
